Webcast May 30: IBM SmartCloud Enterprise and Object Storage
May 30, 2012 // 10:00am - 11:00am CST
How to manage the explosive growth of unstructured data with IBM SmartCloud Enterprise and Object Storage - May 30 Webcast (11:00 a.m. ET)
Enterprise IT managers are tasked with the mission to solve for the vast explosion of business data. As business data continues its relentless growth, building complex, tiered storage architectures is no longer practical. Near-line storage is not cost-effective for burgeoning file archives, and tape storage cannot satisfy compliance demands for rapid data access. It has been nearly impossible to keep ahead of the explosion of data - and how to cost effectively and safely - store it , until now.
Come learn how SmartCloud Enterprise with Object Storage offers an enterprise-class cloud storage solution with standards-based access, robust security, and uncompromised availability.
Don't trust your data to companies who operate a cloud storage business as an afterthought or a side business or to companies who are still stuck in beta mode. When you think cloud storage for your enterprise-class, business-critical data, think IBM.
Register today and also invite your clients to attend to hear how IBM and it's Cloud Ecosystem Partner, Nirvanix can help resolve their data storage issues.
