These new applications and IT use cases include:
Virtual machine images (for servers and desktops) that enable improved
application availability, system recovery, and rapid provisioning
application availability, system recovery, and rapid provisioning
Collaborative applications such as email and SharePoint
Analytic and decision support applications such as data warehouses
Digital image and video archiving systems
In this information-rich environment, customers and governmental organizations
expect companies to quickly deliver the right information to the right person in a timely
fashion. The collection, storage, and control of information assets are critical.
Information must be protected from loss or misuse. New systems must directly
address the rapidly expanding and increasingly diverse needs of organizations
through a number of technology initiatives. The most significant are:

deduplication) of physical storage elements

Inclusion of data movement and security services to improve data protection,
data privacy, and data compliance practices
data privacy, and data compliance practices
These technology changes are already having positive effects on operational
efficiency, scalability, and responsiveness to business requirements. As they are
more broadly adopted, however, they are driving significant changes in storage
system/network design, storage management processes, and storage administrator
responsibilities. IT executives need a scalable, services-enabled networked storage
solution that is an integrated part of the data center, not an impediment to growth.

Large and midsize enterprises are consolidating their data centers through greater use
of virtualization, networked storage, and rackmounted or bladed servers. When
deployed effectively, these technologies improve data center density, minimize
maintenance costs, and reduce facilities costs (e.g., power, HVAC, and cabling).
Containerized data centers are the most obvious example of a modularized data center;
however, the more useful approach for most organizations is the introduction of modular
pods within a traditional data center environment (see Figure 3).
