“SANSymphony allows us to separate the storage software from the hardware. That way, we can replace or add any backend in the cluster without downtime. This ease of adding or removing storage allows us to control costs. All maintening operations can be done without downtime as well. The team is happy due to the fact that they can do the operational tasks during day without impact on the production. It helps us control storage costs.”

“We can reach high IOPS from slow disks through the huge amount of cache.”
