Storage-as-a-Service: Eliminating the Storage Dilemma

Date: Oct 10, 2008
CIO priorities have been shifting steadily toward business outcomes, and away from tech-centric initiatives. For many, the key to attacking those priorities has been outsourcing critical but non-core business processes and activities like application development and help desk functions which allows them to focus on positive business outcomes.

And in light of the pressures applied by significant trends in data growth and information management, "Storage-as-a-Service" is now emerging as the new paradigm for data protection, including PC and server offsite backup, recovery and archiving, and putting that critical electronic business data into action. With Storage-as-a-Service, organizations can get quick, "rich" access to their information for eDiscovery, business continuity, disaster recovery, regulatory compliance with Rule 26 and more, internal and external audits and other demands.

View this on-demand webcast and learn from industry experts, Doug Chandler, Research Director, Infrastructure Services, at IDC and John Clancy, President, at Iron Mountain Digital, how Storage-as-a-Service meets today's CIO's top priorities.
