Rapid data growth is a phenomenon present in most compute environments. As data grows it becomes increasingly complicated and expensive to store, access, protect and manage. As users take a look at the amount of data they will need to manage in the next 2, 5 or even 10 years, what they want is a solution that will meet their current needs and grow with them over time without limiting their options.
