IT Firm Boosts Storage Performance Tenfold, Trims Costs with Software-Defined Storage

Hundreds of companies around the world entrust the health of their Microsoft server applications to ClearPointe, a managed IT services provider. To break free from the limitations of its storage area network, ClearPointe replaced it with a software-defined storage solution based on Windows Server 2012 R2 storage spaces. ClearPointe gained ten times the storage performance at one-sixth the cost, with plenty of room to scale. It also trimmed storage management work by 30 hours a month and doubled storage redundancy.
