3 Legacy storage makes it hard to keep pace
“We used to spend 75% of our Adaptability time on maintenance and just Jim DiMarzio, 25% on R&D. Dell has allowed us Mazda to do a complete U-turn.”
“I couldn’t afford to replace Cost my storage every 3 years or the Mike Robers, support costs for off-warranty Heineken equipment.”
“I don’t need to work nights and Staff weekends because everything is Chris Elam, hot swappable. I can upgrade Arnold during business hours.”
