Saves hours of staff time copying data from one Disk Array/Block Storage to newer system without impacting the servers that are using the SAN. We have virtualized storage like VMware/HyperVee virtualizes servers. Takes the complications out of being a SAN administrator.

The cost and performance of this product are the most important considerations that we had before purchasing it. Since we deployed Lustre everything in file and data management programs has been running effectively. Documentation of clients' contacts is done effectively and the data is securely stored for future reference. The user interface is flexible and any new user can easily work with it.

IBM Spectrum Protect Virtualize beats ALL competition hands down, and one does not need to deal with the complications that are put into some of the Disk Array/ block Storage systems. Excellent Storage management and can see performance of your SAN that goes thru it easily.

This was my first storage software since I started my role as Marketing Manager. It has always served our department well enhancing the achievement of our marketing goals. Our customer's data is securely managed under a safe database. Access to information and categorization of workloads has been simplified under the Lustre system. It can be easily maintained and the cost can be afforded by both large and small scale businesses.
