The most advanced midrange storage platforms offer all the enterprise-class functionality of traditional high-end platforms and also provide significantly improved ease of use, seamless scalability, increased infrastructure density (performance and capacity), and a much lower overall total cost of ownership (TCO). These newer designs also meet the information technology (IT) agility requirements that today’s dynamic business environment demands. Small and medium-sized enterprises looking to modernize their storage infrastructure demand performance, software-defined agility, nondisruptive scalability, self-managing storage, and strong cloud integration capabilities.
