I think the strong suite here is backup and recovery of data, very fast recovery times which are essential in any environment. Smaller companies who have limited budget and may not reap the tangible benefits due to smaller IT departments. Learning curve is required and with a small staff, many companies do not have the luxury of having to learn a more complex product.

Enterprise grade organizations with B2B clientele would be served well by using this product. It alleviates the need for an on-premise storage solution by offering a cloud-based alternative. Smaller organizations with less data capacity needs would be better served with an in-house solution, unless they come out with more reasonable pricing down the road.

It has been a fantastic solution, and now it is so highly integrated into our business, it would be difficult to imagine continuing to without it. It is part of our customer contracts as well, and it saves us from having to invest in the on-premise alternative to provide the required storage capacity.

At the end of the day, it's about return on investment with products, ease of use in the environment, support of the product. Many of these products are very good and do exactly what they say they can do, but in today's times, companies are very strict with budgetary dollars and want the most bang for the buck. HyperStore was proven thru demonstrations that it was a cohesive fit, but again it comes down to cost.

What sets Amplidata apart is the cloud-based storage capability. We’ve realized cost savings due to the fact that we are no longer housing the data on premise, and clients rest assured that they have greater visibility into their data.
