What Are We Talking About Today?
• Storage in Today’s Enterprise • Four Stages of Change
– Workload Consolidation? – AHHH!!! WORKLOAD CONSOLIDATION! – Oh Wait, Cool… – How Do I Get Started?
• What Does Tomorrow Look Like?
Why Does Everyone Hate Storage?
• Inflexible • Inefficient • Ineffective • Unsustainable • How Did We Let This Happen?

Closing Thoughts
• Don’t be the apes. The bananas belong to you, help each other go get them!
• Consolidation is the only way to increase efficiency to any significant degree
• Architecture matters, but so does integration
