In the midst of the Information Age we face the reality that ever more digital content is being created, stored and distributed, and there’s no end in sight. With as much as 90% of that data being unstructured, such as documents, spreadsheets, images and the like, storage as usual will not suffice in this new reality as organizations demand simpler, more affordable, scalable and reliable storage for digital content. The increasing demand requires a scale-out architecture that delivers infrastructure that supports private and public storage clouds and can seamlessly scale to meet evolving business needs.
