Storage + Backup Infrastructure
DATA is integral to any IT Compute Infrastructure – if Data is not available, the infrastructure is of no use. The Compute infrastructure is of no use to Business if the Data within the compute infrastructure is not available for Analysis which enables better planning for Business growth.
