Your business is finally transitioning its digital assets to the cloud. Better late than never, as the saying goes, and welcome. You have come to the right place.

Ditch Hardware For Software

Is your business still maintaining an on-site data center and all of the hardware and applications that go with it? If so, you are in the minority, and it is time to consider outsourcing this work.

Super-Charge Your NAS Environment

All-flash storage and Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) systems are delivering next-generation levels of performance, simplicity and reliability. Unfortunately, these benefits often elude storage-hungry NAS environments because they’re simply too big.

The key to making your NAS environment appropriate for all-flash configurations is to right-size it.  That means making it small enough to cost-effectively live inside an all-flash footprint.  So, how do you do that without throwing away files that still have business value?  With DefendX, that’s how.

DefendX Mobility is an automated, policy-driven application that archives inactive files to more cost-effective storage tiers or cloud services.  The result is a smaller, all-flash or HCI-friendly active file set that is still seamlessly connected to its archive storage systems.  Now, all of the benefits of an all-flash storage environment can be extended to include your right-sized NAS environment too!

See Enterprise Strategies Group Paper on the subject here.
