We are on the cusp of a new era in enterprise storage and data management, driven by the cloud and all-flash technologies such as NVMe. If there was ever a time to break away from your legacy storage provider and embrace a vendor with a modern, open and unified approach, it is now.

The old models for data management and storage no longer work. In fact, sticking with legacy vendors can be a detriment. Rather than moving ahead quickly with new advances and cloud enablement, legacy vendors often limit change in order to protect their installed bases and older technologies.

In today’s world of rapid digital business transformation and market disruption, that model is no longer feasible. Over the next few years, your storage and data management models are going to have to change dramatically, whichever vendor you choose.
