Reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO) for data storage is on the top of the list for IT managers today. Purchasing storage hardware is only the beginning and often not the most expensive part of the solution. It is not likely that an organization will be able to reduce the amount of data stored so to reduce the TCO for your storage infrastructure requires improving overall efficiently by reducing the daily maintenance costs, streamlining upgrades, and the ability to dynamically introduce new technologies to your existing infrastructure to continue to improve efficiency. Achieving storage operational efficiencies requires that you have the ability to mix server and storage technologies.

Cloud storage is an emerging technology and an integral part of the future of data storage. IBM has introduced a cloud storage technology built on proven infrastructure components and offered as a solution.
