Storage today, especially high performance production storage, costs too much. The cost of production storage forces customers to make compromises with their data so that the purchase will fit into their budget. The cost problem defies reality. Storage, both in terms of performance (cost per IOPS) and capacity (cost per TB) has dramatically decreased in price over the past ten years. Why then has total system cost not come down in price at the same pace? The primary culprit is the storage software, which has become increasingly feature laden and less efficient, leading to more expensive hardware requirements.
Join us for a live webinar in which we examine the reasons why storage costs so much and how to drive down the cost of storage. Pre-register before May 1st and receive an exclusive copy of our latest white paper “How to Improve Your Storage ROIQ?” which will provide a step-by-step guide to improving storage performance and capacity while reducing storage spend.
Join us live on July 25th at 12:00pm ET / 9:00am PT
