A utility approach to storage allows for smoother expansion and contraction of your consolidated environment through flexible capacity, software and technology upgrades.
You simply pay a monthly invoice for the actual storage capacity that you use, when you use it. Even if you haven’t yet consolidated your storage, utility ready storage can balance the risks and capital costs associated with buying and upgrading storage devices and software.
This gives clear visibility of the real costs of storage while providing a way for you to:
- Reduce upfront storage acquisition costs
- Improve storage cost predictability
- Increase flexibility—whether your business experiences widely varying or unpredictable storage capacity demands—or your goal is to align storage costs
