When it comes to your data center infrastructure, storage is one of the most critical components—and also one of the highest and most unpredictable costs. Managing your storage needs is a complex task, from fluctuating capacity requirements and diverse performance needs to slow time to value waiting for new storage to be procured and provisioned. Capacity planning is more difficult than ever with an influx of data due to AI projects and uncertainties that may arise from your cloud migration strategies.
How do you efficiently and accurately plan for growth while at the same time keep costs down?
