4 the right Gain an edge become on demand ready IBM defines an on demand business as an enterprise whose business processes integrated end-to-end across the company and with key partners, suppliers and customers can respond with speed to any customer demand, market opportunity or external threat. Becoming an on demand business is about finding new ways to grow, adapt and respond in a dynamic business environment while managing costs. Because data is a critical component of businesses today, efficiently handling the growing amounts of information is one of the keys to success for an on demand business. The storage environment is an important part of the IT infrastructure to help achieve the goal of operating as an on demand business. The evolution to on demand computing for storage typically occurs in four areas: Consolidation. Concentrating systems and resources into locations with fewer but more-powerful servers and storage pools can help increase IT efficiency. Data and application integration can help simplify systems management and improve security. And centralized storage management tools can mean better scalability, higher availability and improved disaster tolerance. Virtualization. Storage virtualization helps you to make complexity transparent and can offer you a composite view of your storage assets to help you get the most out of your resources. This may help reduce capital and administrative costs, while giving users better service and availability. Virtualization is designed to help make your IT infrastructure more responsive, scalable and available. Automation. Choosing storage components with autonomic capabilities can help keep costs down while improving availability and responsiveness and help protect your data as your storage needs grow. As soon as day-to-day tasks are automated, storage administrators may be able to spend more time on critical, higher-level tasks unique to a company s business mission. Integration. An effective on demand storage environment should facilitate data integration while freeing personnel resources to work on this integration. When all servers have secure access to all data, your infrastructure should be able to respond better to your users information needs. Choose one company for the answers you need Let s face it: there is not a one-size-fits-all solution for your storage environment. The performance and availability of your storage environment can either enhance or hamper your business processes. That s where IBM comes in. We can handle the challenges that your network or company as a whole encounters. What s the IBM advantage? You get industry-leading storage products, technologies, services and solutions without the complexity of dealing with different hardware and software vendors and system integrators.
