Nowadays, the majority of data is in a digitized format and there are always chances of getting it deleted, stolen or simply misplaced among volumes of useless data. Managing this rapid growth in data, partly due to e-mail proliferation and our reluctance to permanently delete anything in a time-bound framework, requires a more sophisticated storage management solution.

Small and medium enterprises have many solutions available to them to handle their voluminous data in a systematic manner. Archiving them when needed, without bothering to look after maintaining expensive hardware in in-house and managing human resources. They can even store their data on a cloud network and have different ways available to them to embrace these technologies to suit their requirements. Now, online data storage demand is increasing with the arrival of cloud computing and boom in mobile technology.
Businesses can save a lot of money by opting for data storage management in a conventional method or on cloud computing. A problem for small and medium enterprises today is a lack of scalable, versatile virtual storage solutions.

CDW Storage Management and Virtualization Solution comprises of following components:
Storage Area Networks
Storage Area Network (SAN) is a high-speed network or sub-network to connect storage devices to enterprise servers. This architecture separate the data storage function from the data processing function and allows greater storage flexibility and utilization, and easier central management.
Blade Servers
A blade server is a stripped-down version of server computer to save space. Blade servers are of modular design and optimized to minimize the use of physical space, power and energy.
Storage Management Software
With the help of this software, the companies can manage their large date in such a way that there is no problem in retrieving when required and there is no duplication of stored data.
Archiving Software
Archiving software allows businesses to automate movement of back-up data. The primary function of this software is to delete those files at the end of its retention life-cycle to keep free disk space of an enterprise. This software enables the enterprises to archive the data when needed with transparent and quick end-user access, and keep the balance date safe for future use.
E-Discovery Software
This software is step ahead of archiving software and e-discovery software encompasses advanced search features and can analyze documents in a fraction of the time for a fraction of the cost.
Data De-duplication
Data de-duplication is a method of reducing storage needs by eliminating redundant data. By removing duplicate data stored on the systems through data compression technique, physical space can be saved in the data centre which will translate into cooling and power savings.
Data Storage Virtualization
Data Storage Virtualization is the pooling of physical storage from multiple network storage devices into a single storage device that is managed from a central storage system. In the event of problems occurring in the storage devices, which could be tedious and time-consuming procedure, the companies are shielded from addressing these hardware issues.
It is necessary for a company to succeed in this competitive environment to adopt effective data management storage solutions and use its IT capabilities for its core issues.
