SO WHY IS STORAGE SO EXPENSIVE? How long can you manage data the same way? Source: Forester, 2010 Data Growth is out of control Storage capacity is growing ~60% p.a. (Gartner) Companies are only using 40~50% of their installed capacity (ESG) Total Cost of Storage is growing faster than IT budgets Virtualisation of Servers and Desktops drives even more data into your datacentre.

Slide 5

Future Years Expansion Costs How long can you manage data the same way? Storage Upgrades Drive Future Capex Spend Requirements Assuming conservative 40% growth assumption e.g. 250k initial investment Assumes forklift upgrade to replace SAN in year 5 at same cost as original (to be conservative) Forklift Upgrade
