A data storage refresh is the term used to describe the process of updating or upgrading an enterprise IT organization’s data storage infrastructure. This can involve replacing outdated hardware, migrating data to more modern data storage technologies, or implementing more efficient, optimized data storage solutions.
Some of the benefits of refreshing data storage infrastructure include: improved performance, increased scalability, enhanced reliability, better data security, streamlined management, support for new or advanced workloads, regulatory governments and compliance, reduced overall data storage costs and total cost of ownership (TCO). Additionally gaining competitive advantage from not only optimizing data storage costs but also harnessing greater value from unstructured data, for example analytics and AI initiatives, is increasingly an outcome of a data storage refresh.
