Clients spend too much on storage management and purchase more storage each year than needed, using less than half of existing capacity. They allocate 70% of IT budgets to operations and maintenance instead of innovation. IBM Spectrum Virtualize can help reduce management effort by 47% through simplifying management and optimizing utilization. It provides 3 times the performance with only 5% flash capacity and allows more data to be stored in the same space, lowering storage growth.
