An Executable Big Data Storage Strategy

We will present the outcome of Lehigh University's strategic storage planning effort, which motivated disparate members of our merged technology and library organization to devise and execute a plan to respond to the exponential growth in campus demand for data storage.

OUTCOMES: Learn how to plan for a tangible change in operational and service culture by framing storage services in the context of other services * Learn how to reduce expenses by sharing internal resources and know-how in order to build bridges and reduce the TCO of storage solutions * Learn how to prioritize storage practices, attract campus partners to set parameters on storage service, and shift service culture to a more strategic approach
