Storage (STaaS)

Our Storage-as-a-Service is tiered for any capacity or speed. Our tiered approach offers scalability and agility with different levels of speed and capacity to suit your needs. This can be used alongside compute and network to provide you with a fully tailor-made IT solution.

We match your requirement, whether you need the ultrafast, absolute guaranteed performance of Tier 0, or the reliable, effective and affordable storage of Tier 3 for business functions where speed isn’t so much of a priority. Tiers 1-3 are built on NetApp FAS – the flexible, scalable backbone of the market leading NetApp offering. Tier 0 is the ultrafast, high performance solution built on NetApp SolidFire. Whatever level of service you need, through combining tiers our flexible approach will provide the perfect end-to-end solution for your business.
