From the boardroom to the server room, everyone is talking about the value of data. To harvest the maximum value from their data, businesses worldwide have invested in an impressive array of tools for performing analysis, communicating insights, and informing decisions. The overabundance of data sources, combined with the velocity of new data generation, has created a complex landscape of data management silos.
Many organizations are considering the latest generation of scalable storage solutions to help simplify these data management complexities. Storage systems that are equipped with high availability and data reduction features to consolidate data can reduce the requirement for costly data storage space.
The Dell EMC PowerStore T family of storage arrays provides performance, scalability, and storage efficiency. Its data-centric, intelligent, and adaptable infrastructure transforms and mobilizes both traditional and modern MySQL workloads.

The productivity of IT administrators depends greatly upon the storage efficiency of their IT platforms. One of the ways customers can address productivity is by automating database system provisioning. With storage automation, customers can quickly create copies of data called snapshots. Storage orchestration combines automation steps to deliver on-demand databases and other data systems. Using storage REST API integration combined with other scripts, customers can orchestrate the automatic deployment of a database and increase productivity.
