This whitepaper focuses on the reduction of EBS storage footprint. We start by clarifying the reasons for the rapid growth of data and subsequent rapid rise in storage, explain how this affects business and profits, and illustrate the benefits of reducing EBS storage footprint. We continue by discussing the importance of utilizing the two solutions, Delphix and XtremIO, for reducing EBS storage footprint. Finally, we show how XtremIO works in conjunction with Delphix.
