Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Storage Challenges

The consolidation of unstructured data is a key initiative for many SharePoint customers who need to protect and control valuable information that is currently scattered throughout the enterprise. Many companies are looking for ways to centralize unstructured data and make it accessible by authorized teams and individuals.

As Microsoft® Office SharePoint Server use increases, so has the number of discrete SharePoint instances on each physical server. This can lead to rapidly growing, fragmented deployments. The complexity of large Microsoft Office SharePoint Server environments can be further exasperated by the use of direct-attached storage subsystems. Managing numerous servers and the related data usually requires a lot of time and coordination across various departments within an organization.
