IT management in these organizations is typically much more generalized than at larger enterprises. Large corporate data centers have the resources to divide and conquer their various IT challenges; it is not uncommon to find IT staff and budget resources devoted specifically to storage. Administrators in smaller IT environments often play the role of Network Administrator, Database Administrator, and Support Manager, among other duties. This white paper gives an overview of basic storage technologies, discusses storage challenges facing many businesses today, and describes how the HP StorageWorks All-in-One Storage System brings together the best of these technologies in a solution that is designed from the ground up to meet the unique needs of small and mid-size customers.
