In today’s fast-paced IT landscape, organizations find themselves caught in a race to keep up with technological advancements. However, their core competencies are focused on their business domain and often lie outside the realm of setting up and managing their IT infrastructure.
This, coupled with the prevailing preference for a pure OPEX-based cost model, is driving the widespread adoption of cloud services. An extended range of services and SLAs enables cloud service providers with a competitive edge to win and retain subscribers.
Irrespective of the services offered (SaaS, IaaS, PaaS, DRaaS, BaaS, etc.), as a cloud service provider, you have a need for a resilient, scalable, and cost-efficient IT infrastructure. At the core of this lies the storage layer which safeguards your customers’ most valuable asset – their data. The surge in data growth, resulting from organic expansion and new subscribers, combined with customer demand for various SLAs, reinforce the requirements on the storage layer.
