The “New Normal” Demands Storage that’s Affordable and Reliable

The New Normal Demands Affordable and Reliable Storage

Much has been said about today’s “new normal.” Life and commerce are certainly disrupted, but not everything has changed. Data continue to be generated every day and are still foundational to business success. Even in these times, there’s a lot more data today than there were yesterday. That will never change. And as in the “old normal,” this information must be stored and processed.

The Shift to Affordable Storage Solutions

Amid economic uncertainty, more and more small and mid-sized enterprises are turning away from costly storage platforms from big-name vendors. Instead, they are opting for systems that have proven to get the job done economically and easily. Today’s business environment necessitates affordable and reliable data storage.

The Value Proposition of Flexible Payment Options

When vendors offer flexible payment options, these systems present a compelling value proposition. Organizations today need storage solutions that are:

• Economical
• Easy to use
• Efficient

Robust and Scalable Storage Solutions

It makes sense to economize with robust solutions that work quickly and simply. Such systems impose no compromises and are available in all capacities. Some can easily scale to petabyte size.

• All-flash platforms offer light-speed performance for applications like VDI or virtual machines and are very competitively priced.
• Hybrid arrays offer a flash tier for high-speed processing and a less-costly spinning-disk tier for backup.

For further savings, these solutions can reduce ownership costs by being easy to install and manage.

Maximizing Storage Budgets

These are uncertain times, and no one knows what the next “normal” will look like. However, what is certain is that organizations need to shrewdly maximize their storage budgets today and tomorrow.

This is why so many are turning to high-value solutions from smaller, more flexible vendors. They recognize that the “new normal” demands nothing less than such practicality.
