    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.

    This is the most powerful platform that administers all our storage capacity. It has great server that distributes data from various sources to each department. It has secure database that cannot be easily compromised by unauthorised access. Data backup has given us more trust with this product since we can focus on more productive tasks. The customer support is reliable and can easily be reached when there is arising performance challenge.

    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.

    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.

    My experience with SUSE Enterprise Storage has been great. I have not come across any powerful platform that is more reliable in data storage and backup than this software. It has great servers that monitors data across our enterprise. Data transfer from one department to other is well monitored and the network paths are always secure. Licensing and maintenance of the available plans does not incur added cost that can affect operations in our company.
