Addressing Data Challenges with Custom Server Technology
IT architects today are searching for solutions to manage explosive data growth while extracting maximum value from business data. Delivering on these dual objectives requires data storage and server solutions that can meet the specific needs and support the unique workloads of the organization. An off-the-shelf data storage solution is unlikely to pass muster – only a custom server solution offers the flexibility, agility and specific resources that will enable IT teams to achieve their business data objectives. Yet, with constrained IT budgets, procuring a custom enterprise storage server is not always an option.
Aberdeen provides an answer: custom server and storage solutions that not only deliver exceptional performance and unparalleled reliability but that offer price points which make custom technology the only real choice for data centers of all sizes.
