Delivering the Promise: Pillar Axiom SAN Solutions
The arrival of Storage Area Networks (SANs) promised to consolidate disparate storage silos into a single network to address the problems of low asset utilization, rising costs, and complex management that enterprises suffered with Direct-Attached Storage (DAS) systems.

Solution Brief - Storage Utilization & the IT Bottom Line
With the exception of applications, storage is the #1 expenditure in IT. Yet this expensive and precious investment is highly underutilized (with average utilization rates hovering at less than 40%). While the IT organization has spent time and money on extracting higher utilization rates from servers using virtualization, storage utilization rates have actually been decreasing.
