INTELLIGENT OPERATIONS

In modern data centres , three critical concerns factor into every storage solution – energy efficiency , storage density and performance . Data centres consume tremendous amounts of power , which is why energy-efficient solutions are critical to managing both operational expenses and the impact on the environment .

Additionally , as data centres grow , they remain space-constrained , making every square foot valuable . Operators are continuously challenged to fit more storage into less space . Meanwhile , storage performance is even more important as a competitive advantage because consumers of data centre services expect
