Benefits
Many companies are turning to unified storage to improve utilization and simplify management. With a unified storage system from Scale Computing, improved management and utilization are joined by reduced cost and better control of storage. These benefits are possible because of the scale-out architecture that allows performance and capacity of the storage to grow together.
Cost
New compliance laws, the demands of virtualization, and ever-increasing data growth put enormous pressure on the IT budget for storage spending. Scale Computing storage can relieve that pressure with solutions that cost significantly less than the competition, on an architecture that enables affordable expansion of both capacity and performance, as needed.
Control
By including a full set of enterprise features—such as snapshots and snapshot replication—at no extra cost, and removing the need to plan expensive upgrades of controller-centric systems, companies can get more out of their storage to achieve business goals, even without a dedicated SAN administrator.
Convenience
When the administrator does need to manage the storage, an easy-to-use GUI is provided that belies the complex engineering at work underneath the proverbial hood. ICOS manages historically stressful situations, like drive failures, automatically, and learning the ICOS software takes less than half a day. Some of the most common tasks, such as creating a LUN, take less than a minute to complete.
