BATTLECARD
Who Can Benefit from a Storage Refresh? When you hear “YES” to any of these questions, your customer is a good candidate for a storage refresh.
Ask your customers some of these questions!
Are you currently experiencing any performance issues in your infrastructure? (e.g. critical application slowness, poor response time)
Are you facing any new governance or compliance requirements?
Tell your customers about the technology benefits and the business benefits they can expect from a Storage Refresh!
TECHNOLOGY BENEFITS
The storage system is frequently found to be a bottleneck when troubleshooting application performance issues. Modern storage systems leverage new technology to increase data access speeds and efficiency.
Compliance requirements frequently cause dramatically increased demands for storage capacity and security. Modern storage systems leverage low-cost disks to meet capacity demands while maintaining performance. New storage systems have enhanced capabilities for keeping data secure.
Have your recently made updates to your data center infrastructure?
If the data center infrastructure has recently been updated but the storage system has not, storage could have become a new bottleneck to overall data center performance. Modern storage systems leverage new technology to increase data access speeds and efficiency.
Have you recently made any significant changes to your virtualization posture or are you considering virtualization implementations or upgrades?
Are your storage arrays more than 18 months old?
Modern storage systems have been designed with virtualization in mind and have new features and capabilities that can be uniquely leveraged in a virtual environment.
Technology is advancing rapidly in the storage realm. Many new capabilities have just become available and recent price reductions have made others more broadly accessible. Businesses of any size can now take advantage of flash, automation, cloud, scale-out, and hyper-converged storage.
Do you need to update your data protection solution?
Modern storage systems can offer features and methods for data protection that dramatically enhance protection and recovery while reducing overall cost and complexity.
Have you made any recent upgrades to your core IP network?
If the core network has recently been updated but the storage system has not, storage could have become a new bottleneck to overall data center performance. Modern storage systems leverage new technology to increase data access speeds and efficiency.
Have you just deployed new servers? If the server platform has recently been updated but the storage system has not, storage could have become
a new bottleneck to overall data center performance. Modern storage systems leverage new technology to increase data access speeds and efficiency.
BUSINESS BENEFITS
Faster data access translates directly into better application performance and user/customer experience, and therefore increased productivity. Greater efficiency reduces cost.
Low-cost, high-security disk solutions give companies the ability to comply with government or industry regulations without serious impact to the business in terms of fees or ballooning IT costs.
The main data center elements of servers, storage, networking, and software each contribute to overall performance and efficiency. If any element is lagging, the entire environment will suffer. Storage can be the key to unlocking data center performance in the modern IT environment.
Rather than using the legacy model of storage and applying virtualization as an overlay, the business can take advantage of completely new and unprecedented levels of speed, scalability, protection, and mobility by leveraging intelligent storage that works in concert with the virtual infrastructure.
We live in a data-driven world. If your business is not taking advantage of new storage technology to stay ahead of the pack, the competition may well be. Better, faster, more efficient and secure access to big data is not just a business advantage—it’s a survival strategy.
Data and IT system recovery is mission critical to every business. Typically, data protection systems are costly, complex, and unreliable. Data protection methodologies integrated into the storage itself provide the business with peace of mind, lower cost of ownership, and better productivity.
