I am already running a SAN/NAS/RAID and use Network Appliance to handle my storage needs. How can SafeCapacity improve on what I already have?
Our product is an excellent solution to complement this type of setup. Adding more disks is only a temporary solution in any network. More disks means more things to manage, more data to backup, and more hardware always increases the mean time between failures. We look at data from the 20/80 rule: 20% is used regularly, 80% gets accessed infrequently or not at all. The SafeCapacity software can be set up to automatically compress files based on a policy you create. The files will then be decompressed automatically if they are accessed. In a sense, it makes your existing system bigger, faster and more reliable by cutting back on the hardware necessary to keep the system up and performing.
