New paradigms for storage within the decade of virtualized IT environments

Most of the current storage products are based on a hardware and software architecture that was designed 10 to 20 years ago. In those days we had solution silos (dedicated applications, server, storage and networks) with little data volumes, expensive storage components and a lot of admin headcounts.

With the massive usage of virtual machines and ITaaS/Cloud services the IT world is entering a new level that requires new  storage concepts and architectures to cope with the demand for ease of management, scalability, flexibility, high availability and organizational changes for the IT department.

Within this presentation HP will present the requirements and the technical concepts to meet the paradigms for new storage concepts and what are the solutions from HP in that respect.
