ExchangeServer

SQLServer

Small or Remote Office EnvironmentServer-based, direct-attached storage is challenging

• Islands of direct-attached storage– Separate storage– Separate management

• Inefficient use of storage resources – Over-provisioning– Can’t share capacity

• Data availability and protection is server based

– Manual tape handling and tracking

• Storage growth is expensive and complex to manage

– Adding capacity means adding servers
