It is an interesting fact that the responsibility for the management of most expensive IT infrastructure component, storage, and the protection of the most irreplaceable corporate asset, data, is entrusted to folks who have no specialized training for these tasks and who receive no recognition for the work they do.

Another interesting fact: the preponderance of organizations tend to view storage as a commodity and continue to buy one-size-fits-most storage platforms offered by vendors that are wasteful, inefficient, resist management, and are extremely costly on a cost-of-ownership basis.
