Next-Generation NAS Systems for Windows
For many IT departments today, their Windows file serving systems hardly resemble the scalable, dynamic resource promised by today's newest approach to network-attached storage. Instead they are saddled with disparate, dedicated servers spread across a widely distributed landscape. Burdened by capacity challenges, data retention issues and a lack of resources needed to perform data and OS management on these uncoordinated deployments, IT is ready for a better solution: the next-generation of NAS.
Attend this Ziff Davis Enterprise eSeminar with Jeff Day of HP as he discusses how next-generation NAS systems excel in the Windows OS. The native high availability and massive scalability offered by these systems allows IT departments to unify far-reaching Windows environments and create a file serving architecture that performs better, costs less and is significantly easier to manage while provisioning IT to take best advantage of the benefits of Longhorn.
This webcast will review the technology, explain the cost savings you can achieve, and illustrate the dramatic improvements in utilization and uptime you can realize with a next-generation approach to file server consolidation.
