Enterprise Computing: Storage Wastage – A Reclaim Challenge
My previous post on DMX wastage generated a lot of discussion, some of which has diverted into other product lines such as SVC. Over the last week at Storage Fusion we’ve been working to integrate login history information for DMX, which has shown further reclaim opportunities.
So, I’m going to set a challenge, or opportunity, depending on how you view it. The first 20 end-users with enterprise storage who can fit the requirements below will get a free, one page, no questions asked analysis of their arrays, highlighting reclaim opportunities. The criteria are:
- At least 50TB of raw storage.
- Arrays in the following list: DMX, Clariion, HDS USP, HP XP, HP EVA.
- Ability to run a provided script to collect data and send this data offsite.
- Agreement to use the results anonymously as part of this challenge (no user names/companies to be mentioned).
- Agree to only 1 free analysis per end-user using SRA.
All you need to do is email me (see the about page) or reply to this post (I won’t publish your comment).
