Optimizing File Services with Deduplication and Virtualization

The broad architectural shift to virtual data center environments, as evidenced by server and storage virtualization and the move to private cloud architectures, is transforming data centers from expensive business necessities to highly efficient business enablers and accelerators. In this informative webinar, ESG Senior Analyst Terri McClure presents new research on IT priorities, data growth, and data protection trends that explain why this shift is taking place. She also takes a closer look at why data storage is one of the first stops on the path to optimizing the IT environment, and how a combination of file virtualization and deduplication storage can address the financial and operational challenges created by data growth. Then, Clackamas County's Senior IT Administrator Christopher Fricke offers insights from a real world deployment, discussing how these technologies have enabled his organization to accommodate 100% year over year data growth with zero growth in storage budget.
