Abstract
This IBM Redbooks publication introduces Infrastructure Simplification. Infrastructure Simplification
is the methodology of analyzing the complete enterprise: business processes, workflow

save you time and money and eliminate unnecessary complexity that impedes the flow
of information. This book discusses Storage Infrastructure Simplification and
demonstrates multiple ways that IBM TotalStorage and Infrastructure Simplification can
help you reduce complexity, save time and money, and release the flow of information in
your business.
