Return on Investment
  • smoothened the process of developing new features in the existing products after migration as one single plane of console does all the job
  • Reduced the cost in managing a dedicated storage environment
  • On the other side, few licenses like existing backup cann't be used instead we have to rely on IBM offerings

  • At this moment we haven’t yet calculated exactly the ROI. Our main focus is to secure the best performance on a reasonable price and that's exactly what we got when we started working with Storpool.
