As the repositories of information that sustain institutions and enterprises, storage devices are at the center of modern network designs. High-speed access and high availability of stored data are now critical for both internal business operations and external e-commerce applications.

We know the data explosion, both online and offline, as well as the resulting opportunities and challenges. Gigabit networks, terabyte disk capacities, virtualization and clustering technologies, coupled with advances in data management and transport software, have ushered a new era of reliable, secure and easy-to-use systems. Enhanced storage systems, distributed data centers, and software to enhance classification, Information Lifecycle Management (ILM), and management of huge data repositories are driving new product innovations.
