BUSINESS PROBLEM: SERVICE LEVEL OPTIMIZATION

Goal:
Deliver granular, policy-driven service level optimization for storage Providing needed Quality-of-Service at the lowest possible cost for enterprises and cloud data centers

Requirements:
Scaling for large, mission-critical data centers Automation without (enough) user-control or overrides Service level impacts during optimization (data movement) Risk associated with new technology

Definition

Service Level Optimization: Autonomic Storage Tiering to deliver the right Quality-of-Service to the right data at the right time at the lowest possible cost and not have to think about it!
