Protect | Backup | Optimize | Access | Deploy | Report

Protect
Networks connect businesses to users, customers, vendors and partners. They also provide the primary opportunity for theft, vandalism and misuse of corporate resources. Businesses, therefore need network security that is both flexible, easily managed and sufficiently self-contained to handle protection tasks with minimal impact on staff and other network resources.

Backup
Traditionally, when planning a network, servers have been the main area of concentration within an IT department. They were purchased and installed first and then network storage was added later, almost as an afterthought. Companies are now realizing that in order to manage data efficiently and effectively, this pattern needs to be reversed. Data storage should be the first consideration when planning a network.

Also, more frequently, we are seeing a move away from multiple localized storage. The presence of many storage "islands" makes management very difficult and inefficient. Centralizing storage increases efficiency, reduces costs and makes the network easier to manage.

Today's complex data landscape offers a variety of alternatives when considering storage capacity increases. Technologies such as Storage Area Networking (SAN) and Network Attached Storage (NAS) are challenging the "add another general purpose server" mentality by offering solutions that break the legacy restrictions associated with traditional server-centric environments.

Optimize
"Network managers consistently cite poor application performance and network congestion as pressing issues, however determining the cause of the problems or what to do when they are discovered is a challenge. Different problems require different solutions, and fiscal and practical issues dictate that customers employ effective solutions that yield a quick return on investment. Traffic management and compression are complementary technologies that can result in bandwidth efficiency and cost savings."—Lawrence Orans, senior analyst at Gartner
