Overview
One of the biggest challenges that IT administrators face today is the exponential growth in file storage needs. This trend is the result of numerous business drivers such as regulatory requirements to retain data and increased levels of digitization of content. IT budget cuts have forced CIOs and system administrators to manage and deal with this data growth with reduced staff. Enterprises are looking for new and additional ways to cut costs.
