Organizations today demand the highest possible system availability. In fact, incidents that were previously viewed as minor unplanned outages can now impact business operations severely. Administrators are faced with the challenge of identifying underutilized storage devices in complex environments and load-balancing capacity across all available resources. What organizations need are solutions designed to facilitate a high-availability environment, and can help prevent (or better tolerate) system outages, while enabling administrators the ability to optimize capacity utilization across the enterprise.
