Filtering through the numerous messages from the vast amount of storage vendors to fig¬ure out the best solution for your unique environment is a difficult task at best. Many end users choose a solution that meets an immediate need, but in itself, without the thorough research into other areas, causes a pain that the administrator must look to find another solution to fix. Is the solution you are considering simple, accessible, reliable, secure, scal¬able, inexpensive, green, and measurable? The data storage and management market is full of new and improved offerings from many vendors. Fibre Channel Disk, iSCSI, SATA, Solid State, SAN, NAS, DAS, Tape, Virtual Tape, Encryption, Deduplication, and the list goes on. If you follow these seven key rules surrounding the management and protection of your data, you will not only be happy and confident with your choice, but you will be able to defend your choice and know that you have yourself a solution you can live and grow with for a long time. |
