"Return on investment comes down to delivering what the business needs at the lowest cost per terabyte of capacity, virtual machine, or other business metric that is important to the organization. The key to demonstrating the value in business continuity is to build IT infrastructure that can cost-effectively provide high availability and disaster recovery, while enabling businesses to move data, VMs and application workloads between multiple sites.

As many organizations operate on tight budgets, the challenge becomes building an effective infrastructure that can keep up with the growing storage and high availability requirements. To address these increasing demands, enterprises need to modernize data centers using software-defined storage as the foundation to prepare for the demands of tomorrow. As part of this, advanced replication and stretched cluster technology can assure any organization that all business critical systems will remain available at all times without breaking the bank.”
