Time - The First Casualty Of Lack Of Storage Analytics: Page 2 of 2

In IT, time is no longer on your side. Staffs are stretched too thin, new products and capabilities are coming at you too fast and requests for additional storage performance or capacity never stop. The problem is that there is a limited amount of time available to you to examine what is causing a performance bottleneck or how much capacity an application really needs. The current trends of virtualization, tiered storage and infrastructure consolidation make diagnoses even more challenging.

What you may find by implementing these tools is that you buy yourself more time. These type of tools give you a command console that allows you to see problems before they occur, optimize resources instead of rolling out new ones and having information at the ready to answer questions instead of having to scramble at the last minute. Who knows, you might even get to go home before the sun goes down on occasion.
