The True “Cost” of Enterprise Storage – Understanding Storage Management
It’s definitely a truism that the absolute cost of storage, measured per GB has continued to drop steadily over the last 15 years. In fact, when I was involved in purchasing storage hardware it was common to put in place a quarterly price reduction of around 5% on any long-term deals. Prices have dropped over time because the disk manufacturers have been able to continue to increase the capacity of data stored in a standard drive form-factor, delivering more capacity for the same physical amount of space, power and cooling.

It’s Time to Think and Act Differently…
We have all heard Albert Einstein’s quote “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results”. Intuitively we know this is true, but it is amazing how often we ignore this advice.

How the Cloud Disrupts Traditional Enterprise Storage
Traditionally, enterprise IT had to buy their own expensive hardware. Then, the cloud came along and showed us that it doesn’t have to be that way. In the cloud, you eliminate the CapEx investment and rigidity of physical storage purchases. The cloud provides significant flexibility to grow and shrink as needed. If your business requirements change, you can adjust your IT resources accordingly. Additionally, there is no need to worry about hardware in the cloud because providers take complete responsibility for making sure everything works, including hardware and software deployment and upgrades – all behind the scenes.
