Testimonials

"Vanguard helps us provide our customers with enhanced productivity and efficiency by ensuring that the latest technologies are incorporated into their data center."

Stacy Schwarz-Gardner, Executive V.P. of Technical Marketing

"WebHouse's goal is to provide solutions that reduce complexity within our customers' IT infrastructures. So it was an easy decision to partner with IBM Storwize since their data compression appliances support that mandate."

Dan Kerning, President

"IBM Storwize's technology offers a compelling value proposition within current storage infrastructures for E&P companies."

Chris Usher, Senior Director of Technology

"We are very selective in choosing which IT solution vendors to partner with in order to bring only best-in-class products to our customers. We are very pleased to be able to offer IBM Storwize's impressive and exciting set of storage compression solutions."

David Galton-Fenzi, Group Sales Director

"IBM Storwize solutions have been integrated into our longer-term strategy of making our storage infrastructure more efficient and as green as possible and as such we have also included IBM Storwize as part of our virtualization strategy. The IBM Storwize deployment was fast and completely transparent to our users."

"We're very pleased with the dramatic impact IBM Storwize has had on our storage costs and performance. Leveraging our existing infrastructure we were able to reduce our replication costs, enhance our backup process, and improve performance….Because we're compressing primary storage, we're not only reducing the amount of data required to transmit to our offsite location for disaster recovery purposes but we're also seeing dramatic performance improvements in our SAP batch and transaction performance."

"Using a combination of both VMware and IBM Storwize has enabled us to control expansion costs of our network storage infrastructure while dramatically minimizing the need for power, cooling and floor space in our data center."

"We got the results we wanted…a long-term effect for the cost reduction…The investment effect of STN-6500 was outstanding for us."

"Companies like IBM Storwize are able to compress active file data in-band. Your compression will vary depending on data type, but we have found there to be little if any performance impact as a result. Even if you only get 2:1 compression, this is a simple, cost-effective way to possibly cut your storage needs in half. Most important, these solutions are compatible, even complementary, to the other solutions."

"IBM Storwize offers a technology that can help its customers meet storage, economic, and environmental datacenter concerns."

Benjamin Woo

"Data compression is an obvious way to minimize capacity requirements, making more efficient use of assets and energy. IBM Storwize occupies an intriguing market position because it complements as much as competes."

Stewart Buchanan

"The benefits of reducing data are felt at every point downstream from where the reduction occurs. It only makes sense that applying this function closer to the point of data creation will yield the greatest possible benefits."

Lauren Whitehouse

"Companies like IBM Storwize are able to compress active file data in-band. Your compression will vary depending on data type, but we have found there to be little if any performance impact as a result. Even if you only get 2:1 compression, this is a simple, cost-effective way to possibly cut your storage needs in half.

George Crump

"Why would you spend 10 or 20 times as much to store a piece of data if you don't have to?"
