Do you currently have a SAN (Storage Area Network Solutions) from one of the top tier providers? Is you maintenance contract currently up for renewal? You may want to consider comparing the cost of renewing maintenance on that SAN with purchasing a new SAN from Scale Computing. A county in Michigan recently went through this scenario when their maintenance came up for renewal and in scrutinizing costs for savings went the route of purchasing a Scale SAN. They were able to save money and got a brand new SAN on top of it. LightBound offers Scale Computing SAN for direct customer purchase. We also offer off site data backup service using Scale's SAN that can provide business continuity at a very effective cost. If you have a current SAN and need to expand the Scale SAN solution may also make sense. Most data migrates to a state of being accessed on an infrequent basis, which would be a perfect fit for the Scale Computing SAN. You can use your current SAN for high performance needs and migrate stale data to the Scale SAN at a much lower operating cost.
