Company has added a general purpose SAN offering to accommodate applications and data storage that don't require high performance storage.
RackForce Networks, an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) provider, yesterday announced the addition of a general purpose Storage Area Network (SAN) offering to its portfolio of services. The new service provides solid performance, flexibility and reliability at a lower price point, and compliments its existing high performance SAN offering.
The company articulates that delivered on the NetApp storage platform the general purpose service supports many storage needs such as mainstream enterprise applications, disaster recovery solutions, and development and test environments. Clients requiring higher performance for more sensitive and critical applications can choose its high performance SAN service. The new general purpose SAN service is available immediately and is delivered from the company's Kelowna, BC and Toronto, ON, Canada facilities.
It avers that latest offering further supports the company's multi-tier cloud strategy. By providing multiple levels of server and storage offerings it provides greater choice to its clients - enabling them to better align IT costs with application characteristics, required performance and business value.
Randall Robinson, RackForce's CIO explained, "RackForce has always designed its offerings to accommodate multiple tiers of service. This applies to cloud, colocation, network and now storage. This will reduce our customers' storage costs by 45% so we think there will be strong uptake."
