What are your top 3 compelling data
storage challenges?
Challenges:
Simplicity
SMEs must remove complexity from
their storage infrastructure with intuitive
management, easy to deploy and versatile
solutions that are optimised for SAN and DAS
application environments.
Performance
SMEs need their storage to perform at the
highest IOPs, throughput writes and reads, and
host connectivity levels. Additionally, they need
storage to have the scalable capacity that will meet
their data storage growth projections.
Affordability
Many SMEs frequently experience constrained
IT budgets for many business and economic
reasons and therefore are price-sensitive when
it comes to purchasing infrastructure. A storage
solution must agree with price/performance
sensitivities and that SMBs can effectively
measure and afford.
