Intelligent Storage
End users will see better performance, simpler management and administration,
and more autonomous operation. Intelligent Storage Devices provide
additional functionality to the applications and take care of themselves.
The goal of Intelligent Storage from the user perspective is an overall
lower total cost of ownership and increased productivity.
Intelligent storage offers a tremendous
potential for product differentiation. Storage device intelligence can be
tailored to specific vertical applications. Vendors can build storage
devices that more effectively utilize the underlying hardware and
dynamically incorporate new functionality (new intelligence) for changing
data, applications, and markets. The goal of Intelligent Storage from the
vendor perspective is to provide far more opportunity for adding value to
their products.
