Re: Maximum raw capacity of no more than 500 TB
Chris,
Good, constructive feedback and thanks for taking the time to share it. However, you suggest we should include all models that scale past 500TB. Well, how far past 500TB? 750TB? 1PB? a billion PBs? What would you do?
It appears people are reading more into this Buyer's Guide Edition that it was intended to convey. This Edition is intended for those organizations that want to acquire a storage array that only needs to scale to 500TB to meet the needs of their environment. If this is your use case, this Buyer's Guide is for you and these are the best models to do so based upon our research and opinion. If not, we suggest you leverage DCIG's online research to find the best storage array for your environment.
DCIG has the capability to produce other Buyer's Guide Editions that reflect other use cases using the same body of research into enterprise storage arrays that was used to produce this one. The results contained in each one will depend upon the use case and inclusion/exclusion criteria applied to it. As DCIG publishes each Guide Edition, we disclose how we arrived at our conclusions. In this way, individuals can make an informed decision if this particular Buyer's Guide Edition is the right one for them to use in their environment.
