Information is growing at an annual rate of 60 percent, according to IDC. This data explosion, combined with the current economic climate, is requiring companies to take a different approach to storage in 2009.

Consolidating, tiering, and deduplicating information has enabled hundreds of EMC customers to reduce their total cost of ownership for storage by more than 25 percent. Consider these facts:

• Tiered storage solutions can significantly lower capital and operating expenditures—while ensuring quality of service for all applications.
• Deduplication reduces costs not only for hardware, but also for associated software, maintenance, floor space, and power and cooling.
• For every 10 percent increase in capacity, EMC customers report a one percent decrease in power consumption.

Reduce your backup data footprint and associated costs. Back up in less time, and provide faster, more reliable recoveries. EMC’s disk-based solutions with deduplication help eliminate the inefficiencies driven by exploding data growth, highly utilized virtual infrastructure, and expanding IT environments.

With the help of EMC, you can:

• Leverage data deduplication to reduce backup-related storage by up to 98 percent and speed backups by up to 90 percent.
• Deploy an active archive to free an average of 66 percent of primary storage, reducing backup data and costs.
• Increase server consolidation ratios by up to 50 percent through more efficient VMware backup.
• Streamline operations, improve reliability, and increase visibility with unified management—maximizing ROI while reducing risk.

Virtualization makes IT flexible and responsive to new business requirements—while saving money. With virtualization, you can create new processes and workflows to increase speed and responsiveness. You can complete the picture with EMC technology and services that unlock VMware’s full potential.

In many organizations, security and compliance activities are undertaken on a piece-meal basis, resulting in costly inefficiency. By allocating resources project by project, enterprises spend an average of 150 percent more than necessary on security and compliance, due primarily to duplication of effort.
