How to Use Single Instancing to Control Storage Expense
August 3rd, 2009 |
No Comments
Only 10 percent of an iceberg is visible above the waterline. The same holds true for the enterprise cost of electronic information storage, where the true depth of the storage issue and its overall impact on the corporate bottom line remain hidden. With large enterprises spending as much as 40 percent of their IT budgets on their storage infrastructures, there is greater incentive than ever to apply the reduce, reuse, and recycle mantra to achieve hard cost savings and enjoy the benefits of green IT. Here, Knowledge Center contributor Stuart Butts explains how to use single-instance storage to control storage resources and expense.
– In a world where 80 percent of CIOs admit to never seeing their energy bills, enterprises are under the illusion that they have limitless inexpensive storage.

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart Announce
Higher Than The Stars EP Plus The Single Come Saturday
Not content to rest on the laurels of having one of the best and most talked-about albums of 2009, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart are back with the Higher Than The Stars. The EP features four brand-new songs that do what the band does best – breathe fresh life into indie-pop with their exuberance, charm and of course quality tunes.
Higher Than The Stars races along on arpeggiated keyboards and quickly strummed guitars, a perfect pop
nugget that could be ripped from Robert Smith‘s songbook. Its unstoppable energy is pure Pains, though,
and the band hopes to see a lot of ear-to-ear grins when the band busts the EP out on tour.
