"From a break fix perspective, I think
there's a huge difference in what
needs to be done when a piece of
hardware fails. I can have anyone
on my team go back and replace a
1U or 2U servers. … essentially
modularizing my datacenter and
delivering a true Software-Defined
Storage architecture."

and the ability to expand when we need
to, quickly. And that’s something the
Virtual SAN lets us do in every case.
For the Doe Fund, you know, it is the
holy grail of storage.”
