The Bundling Opportunity for Data Protection Solutions

The world is drowning in data. Data growth is rapid, with more data created in the last three years than created in all previous human history. Simultaneously, IT complexity is increasing as a result of changing technologies such as new hardware (servers, switches, devices etc.), new software, and new protocols. Regulations, competition, increased globalization and ever changing consumer requirements are also driving the IT complexity crisis. Add to that flat or even shrinking IT budgets, and IT organizations must simply do more with less.

Server Revenue

Factory revenue in the worldwide server revenue reached $11.5 billion in the second quarter of 2004, according to IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Server Tracker. White box servers represent about 22.5 percent of total server shipments in the U.S. alone.  

An effective solution to this complexity crisis is to leverage standards based infrastructure (such as Linux and Intel/AMD architectures), combined with robust management software and to deliver it as a complete solution. Software enables the automation of complex and repetitive tasks, and Arkeia’s innovative line of software is simple to use and reliable.

Appliance manufacturers and Linux based systems builders are delivering on the promise of IT simplicity by combining hardware and software to create compelling customer solutions.
