End-User Concerns
Cisco storage networking solutions address a variety of important end-user concerns, including:
Data Migration
- How can I ensure zero application downtime when I migrate data from one storage array to another?
Data Replication
- Can I do replication across heterogeneous discs (gold to silver)?
- How far apart can my data centers be for replication purposes?
Tiered Storage
- How do I support different types of arrays to enable a tiered storage environment?
- How do I provision the proper class of storage most effectively for different applications?
Backup and Recovery
- How can I perform backup and recovery faster?
- How can I perform backup and recovery more cost-effectively?
- How can I get the most reliable backup and recovery?
Compliance and Data-Retention Requirements
- How can I make sure I am doing what I need to do to comply with regulations?
- Because regulations require me to retain my data for longer periods of time, how do I move this data to different tiers of storage?
Need to Lower Storage Costs
- Can I get reports about what storage is currently in use?
- How can I optimize my resources?
- How can I reduce operating expenses (OpEx)?
- How can I reclaim storage space occupied by files that clients are not using?
