Automated Methodology for Storage Consolidation & Optimization for Large Infrastructures

The presentation will provide a strategy and a automated methodology for Data Center Storage Optimization and Consolidation from Performance, Capacity & Cost perspective for a large multi-vendor multi-tier infrastructure. This methodology shows how to leverage existing OEM tools in a highly efficient and automated manner to extract the data, summarize & aggregate data and then model for a desired target storage configuration. This multi-step automated process has already been implemented successfully in a commercially available tool. This strategy has been used multiple times for up to 30 PetaByte environments.
