E8 Storage Launches its First Software Only Product for Pre-qualified Servers
Summary
"Enterprises require ever faster infrastructure to handle both new and existing applications, and meeting that need can be complex and expensive," commented Tim Stammers, Senior Analyst, Storage, 451 Research. Allowing customers to run E8 Storages software on their choice of commodity hardware increases their ability to control costs, as well as making deployments more flexible." Bought independently, the E8 Storage Software enables businesses to utilize hardware from their supported vendor of choice, so long as they are on the pre-qualified list. It also allows companies to take advantage of economies of scale from within their own supply chains and purchase new units at a rate and pace to suit their individual, specific needs. E8 Storages affordable, reliable and scalable solution is ideally suited for the most demanding low-latency workloads, including real-time analytics, financial and trading applications, transactional processing and large-scale file systems.
