An effective tiered storage strategy has to balance storage costs, data lifecycle management practices, and storage technology priorities with storage performance. The best choice is to take advantage of a multi-tier storage system that automatically migrates your data to the most cost-efficient (TCO) tiers of storage. Clearly today’s storage management challenges will only get larger. The long-standing goal of delivering on the promise “to have the right data – in the right place – at the right time” can finally become a reality. For some enterprises building a tiered storage strategy may still be optional, but that won’t be the case for much longer.
