App to Help CIOs Know Costs of Information Storage

The Unisys application helps mobile enterprise IT decision makers understand their storage environments so they can manage them more efficiently and cost-effectively.

Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today, May 10, announced the availability of Unisys Storage Survey 2012 mobile application.

Users of the application can answer a series of questions about key factors in the use and cost of their organizations’ information storage resources: type of data stored on each tier, number of terabytes under management, amount managed by each full-time employee, number of storage providers, and expected growth in storage requirements, among others.

The application then benchmarks the user’s answers against data generated by 200 clients of Unisys Storage Resource Analysis Service – a key component of Unisys Cloud Storage Advisory Services.

It also affords users access to a range of information – including white papers, infographics and links to research – that they can use to understand storage-related issues and learn more about using storage for business advantage.

The application is available free of charge from the Apple App Store for iPhones, iPads and iPod touch devices; from Google Play for Android devices; and soon from the Unisys Storage Resource Analysis site for BlackBerry devices.
