This data comes from everywhere: sensors used to gather climate information, posts to social media sites, digital pictures and videos, purchase transaction records, and cell phone GPS signals, to name a few. To effectively leverage this big data, organizations need fast, easy access to applications—backed by high-performance storage architectures. At the same time, they need ways to improve operational efficiency while maintaining the same data center footprint, quality of service and high availability.</p>
