“Automated tiered storage automatically migrated
75% of our data to lower-cost drives, saving us
approximately $40,000 per year. Dell helped us turn
reactive storage management into an active data
management strategy.”
“My team now spends about 75% of our time on
innovation. SAP performance is up as much as 400%
and our backup takes just 4 hours.”
"With 99.99 percent uptime and 4-hour onsite
support, we have achieved significant performance
improvements and efficiencies."
