SlideShare: Cloud Storage: The 5 Reasons IT Can Do it Better

Cloud storage sounds like the ultimate solution for one of the data center’s biggest problems. What do you do with unstructured data that is rapidly growing both in terms of capacity consumed and number of files you store? Cloud storage offers almost unlimited scalability without complex and costly upgrades, all at an affordable monthly payment. The problem is that these monthly costs add up quickly as time marches on and capacity requirements increase.

Organizations with capacity requirements as small as 100TBs should consider building their own cloud storage solution; a private cloud storage system may be less expensive than the public cloud alternative.

In this on demand webinar, learn the five reasons why a private cloud storage system may be more cost effective and deliver a higher quality of service than public cloud storage providers.

You will learn:
