Compellent Storage Replacement
Description
The current campus on-premise central storage is approaching 4 years old. The Compellent is seeing increasing disk failures due to 24/7 operation. Additionally, hardware coverage will be increasing to $90,000 per year, which is one third the cost of a new system.
