45Drives¶

Aus dem internationalen Angeboten habe ich mir als Beispiel 45Drives aus Nordamerika herausgesucht. Die Firma ist mir in den letzten Jahren immer mal wieder als Informationsquelle zu allen möglichen Storage- und Virtualisierungsthemen aufgefallen.

Hier nochmals der O-Ton der Website als Textauszug:

Virtualization, Storage, and Support all in One System

Following Broadcom’s (VMware) decision to significantly reduce its offerings, raise prices, and declare a market strategy centered solely on catering to the needs of its top 600 companies, many users who d epended on them for virtualization find themselves in a state of crisis. As they look for a replacement, many are not keen on again becoming dependent on proprietary solutions, just so they can have the rug removed from under them again. Open-source solutions address t his risk, and can offer better performance, but often becomes a ‘project’, which is inappropriate and unnecessary for a mature technology in an enterprise environment. Thus, many organizations feel stranded.
