At Intelligent Technology Solutions, we believe the best storage investment a company can make in today's economic climate to fully optimize its current storage environment. Through our work with clients, often we find that organizations are unaware that their current storage assets are seriously underutilized. As a result, these companies purchase and deploy additional storage resources in an effort to address their storage issues. The result “unnecessary storage expenditures” following are some of the reason for optimization:

• Hundreds of thousands of dollars of unused resources — including gigabytes or even terabytes of spinning disk on the floors of virtually every data center. In most cases, clients was not aware they had these resources, and was negotiating with a vendor to purchase more. 
• Automated backup solutions that were not 100 percent operational. 
• Proliferation of storage vendors across business lines, regardless of corporate strategy. One company was using disk arrays from EMC®, StorageTek®, Dell, Digital®, Sun®, as well as other disk vendors for OS/400 and Tandem. 
• Purchasing decisions based on "use it or lose it" budgeting. These decisions not only waste valuable resources, but also increase costs because the equipment must be integrated into the environment and supported for years. 
• Operational problems, including poor change management, lack of capacity planning, and inadequate funding models — all of which increase costs unnecessarily.
