As the growth of data storage continues to explode, there
is an increasing need for businesses to find ways to
control the cost of storage. Managing storage
infrastructure has grown in complexity as customers acquire
new storage infrastructure that is heterogeneous. And
businesses must identify, evaluate, control and predict the
growth of data through its lifecyle in order to meet
storage service levels in accordance with IT Information
Library (ITIL) and data retention requirements.

The IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center is an open storage
infrastructure management solution designed to help:

* reduce the effort of managing complex, heterogeneous
storage infrastructures
* improve storage capacity utilization
* improve administrative efficiency

TPC provides reporting capabilities, identifying your data
usage and its location, and provisioning. It also provides
a central point of control to move the data based on
business needs to more appropriate online or offline
storage, and centralizes the management of storage
infrastructure capacity, performance and availability.
These key capabilities support Information On Demand,
enabling you to easily manage the data through its lifecyle
while helping to meet ITIL and data retention requirements,
and reduce the cost of storage.
