We all know that the amount of data we are storing is growing at an exponential rate, which makes it difficult to manage for many reasons. The question is how does an IT organization effectively manage the data to ensure availability and integrity at the lowest total cost of ownership. Lewan currently has 4 main storage partners NetApp, Compellent, Dell and Hewlett Packard. First let’s take a look at NetApp and in the following weeks I will cover the other technologies.
