Rich Castagna, Editorial DirectorNamed as one of Storage magazine’s “Hot Technologies for 2011,” automated storage tiering is an effective way to make efficient use of installed data storage resources and to take advantage of the high performance of solid-state storage.
And given the increasing complexity of data storage environments, data growth and the typically poor utilization of storage, it should come as no surprise that automated storage tiering is starting to take off.
In the May 2011 cover story of Storage magazine, Phil Goodwin highlights what you should know about automated storage tiering. Get an overview of the key benefits, functions, future outlook and even buying considerations for automated tiered storage technologies.
