There are many instances where a company could benefit from having their data stored in a storage area network environment to increase the overall availability, but the economics don't make sense to buy their own storage area network.  By utilizing Expedient's storage area network management service, you can purchase disk space as you need it without a large upfront investment. Storage area network management allows companies to function in a financially responsible "pay as you grow" model as compared to a "build it and they will come" concept.

Why Managed SAN?

The average SAN investments for companies range anywhere from $50,000 to $250,000 in first year expenses for software and hardware alone. Expedient has invested heavily in disk infrastructure to be able to provide customers with a variety of speed and redundancy options at reasonable costs. Depending on customer needs, Expedient can provide customers with the full array of disk speeds. Expedient also provides customers with options for multiple disk stripping methods to ensure redundancy in the backend disk arrays. Customers can rest assured that qualified SAN engineers are providing support and maintenance, and ensuring customer data security.
