When there is an increasing demand for their services and no increase in personnel to handle the demands, IT staffs are sometimes forced to over-provision IT resources, including storage capacity, based on worst-case, peak demands. In addition, the introduction of storage area networks has added to that challenge, making storage capacity provisioning a very labor intensive process requiring a significant number of individual steps not to mention an undesirable amount of an administrator's time. The result—the IT environment can become inflexible, expensive, underutilized and difficult to manage.
The IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center with Advanced Provisioning solution is designed to move you from just-in-case storage capacity provisioning to intelligent, automated, on demand provisioning.
