FEATURE the storage industry , which has been pushing the all-flash arrays for years . A big part of making VDC a success story was that it was different from the other IT providers . Therefore , the company was looking for enterprise-class storage that was compatible and could leverage its technology investments . The company wanted to sell large amounts of storage space , so it needed to ensure differentiation and deliver better value than the competition . VDC was increasingly open to a disruptive force to come in and surprise the team of decision-makers . Just as they were talking to the big all-flash incumbent about the so-called ‘ safe route ’ to storage , they began a conversation with Infinidat , a fast-rising leader in multipetabyte storage , because of a value proposition that caught their attention . What transpired next changed everything .
A flexible storage solution option
“ We saw the catch phrase Infinidat was using about high speed at half the price and that got me interested because we were looking at all-flash arrays and wanted a substantial SSD flash component of our storage ,” said Thompson . “ This was an interesting turn of events .” VDC quickly found out that Infinidat delivers on the promise of its value proposition . As Thompson attests , there was a compelling case that he felt confident would sustain VDC ’ s growth . The high performance , resilience , reliability , cost-effectiveness , flexibility and 100 % availability of the Infinidat storage platform disrupted the legacy perceptions in the marketplace about enterprise-class storage . www . intelligentdatacentres . com
