In my post, “Why software defined storage ( #SDS )is a topic for the boardroom?” I have recently discussed the importance of discussing investments in the Software Defined Storage are at the board level. But in today’s ROI driven IT discussions, opinion isn’t enough to sway decision-makers. But a new study from IDC has taken things a step further, interviewing organizations who’ve implemented SDS to illustrate its proven quantifiable benefits with hard facts. According to the report, those who’ve done so will realize business value worth an average of $1.74 million over five years, which equates to an average return on investment of 505% and a break even on their initial investment in just eight months. But how? I’ve listed the five key areas in which SDS has proven quantifiable benefits below (but I really encourage you to get the full study here): Less team time devoted to storage – SDS empowers IT teams by dynamically provisioning storage. They’re able to spend less time on day-to-day activities and focus on strategic business growth activities. The results show that on average IT teams using SDS spend 75% less time devoted to storage-related help desk tickets and 83% less time provisioning storage. In addition, business applications are delivered in less time (32% faster) and time between user or customer requests for applications or services being made and delivery is shortened (26% less time). #DellTechnologies #EMC #Dell
