• Wikibon ROI Study: Business Case for Unified Storage Consolidation for Microsoft Windows Installations

  Unified storage is infrastructure that supports multiple types of storage within a single management framework. In an ideal scenario, an admin can access a single set of tools and functions that are transparent to the type of storage used. Unified storage is particularly attractive in Microsoft Windows installations, due to large installation files and (often) the need for multiple types of storage.

  This white paper investigates the business justification for consolidating the storage required to support Microsoft Windows installations onto unified storage. Featuring extensive models and field data, combined with the results of in-depth interviews and surveys with organizations who have already?consolidated, this report explores everything from financial metrics to data center efficiency to determine the effectiveness of consolidation.

  Read on to learn more about the benefits of consolidation, what types of organizations should be considering consolidation/unified storage, and how to ensure the most bang for your buck after implementation.
