摘要

Ask any IT executive what his job is, and he is likely to say, "I'm in the service business."

It directly impacts the performance, availability and functionality of most applications―while improving time-to-market and ensuring business continuity. The fundamental need for a robust solution that not only supports uncompromised SLA demands but also alleviates economic concerns has IT managers turning to high-end storage solutions for their most demanding applications―the ones that require the highest service levels. And at the high-end, the challenges―and the impact storage can make―are even more significant.
