The challenge: Managing data to achieve a
low cost of ownership and high data
availability
Effective data management is essential
to the success of your enterprise if
business goals are to be met. You need
a storage solution that has a low cost
of ownership while providing high data
availability, strong storage management
capabilities, and powerful performance
features. You need to be able to easily
and cost effectively scale storage
capacity and take advantage of 
emerging technologies as information
demands change. Powerful, dynamic
backup and recovery capabilities can
help you protect data and prevent 
failure—not just respond and recover.
