Emphasize Storage Management Over Storage Capacity (July 2002)
With disk storage only costing about 5 cents per megabyte, many IT managers fall into the trap of believing that increasing capacity is the economical way to go. These managers fail to realize that the management, operation, and maintenance of those disks will annually cost them 50 cents per megabyte or more.

Management Tools and IP Move Into Enterprise Storage (May 2002)
Enterprise storage remains a hot area for development and controversy. Among the hottest issues are far less interoperability among storage vendors than in other IT applications, competing transfer technologies, and an ever-growing need for larger capacities and faster data transfers. Despite the difficulty managers encounter in configuring their storage systems, the outcome for almost all new installations will be improved performance with lower ownership costsâif not immediately, at least within the first two years of operation.

Compaq/Digital Shared Storage Overview (Aug 2000)
Shared storage provides an economical option for meeting the storage demands of multiple-host environments. Shared storage allows for more effective management of storage for a lower total cost because multiple-host storage needs can be consolidated into a few storage systems, resulting in fewer hardware components and fewer physical locations. Heterogeneous storage area networks go a step further by allowing the interconnection of multiple shared storage environments into a single network and enabling single point management of the storage environment. In addition, the consolidated storage becomes available to any host server, regardless of physical location.

New Storage Options Increase Challenges
Network-attached storage (NAS) and storage area networks (SAN) can readily solve many of the management problems associated with enterprise storage. In contrast to traditional server hosted and SCSI array storage, these approaches offer reduced administration costs and flexibility in storage design and allocation, along with an easy route for expansion.
