But data management is perceived as complex and expensive particularly for small and medium-sized businesses. Companies need reliable back up and the ability to plan for data growth rather than just respond to the increase.

Intelligent data management helps cut this complexity and helps companies manage and recover information that they need to run their business. It encompasses data protection and recovery, compliance and disaster recovery, exploiting digital content and long term storage.

This Computing web seminar, in association with Dell, examines the advantages to moving from distributed to consolidated storage of data and managing that data as a single resource.
