- Maximising application availability with faster and more granular backups that can now leverage low-cost public cloud resources for improved data protection
- Responding to changing business demands faster with the ability to quickly and easily leverage public cloud resources as part of their storage infrastructure
It also helps them reduce operational IT expense by:
- Optimising data placement with the ability to automatically and efficiently move data between all tiers of storage based on policy, ensuring access to critical data when customers need it
- Improving IT efficiency with a single, scalable storage solution that meets all storage requirements for containerised and cloud-enabled workloads, no matter where they live
