We suggest this solution for multiple infrastructures, such as hotels, hospitals, and government projects, are using the solution. For small businesses and other organizations that require a small infrastructure or less scalability, we use any storage solution that meets their needs. However, for organizations that require high scalability and storage capacity, the MSA is the most suitable solution.

IT MGR at a retailer with 51-200 employees

When we purchased this solution, we work looking to go from a standalone VMware server to a full-fledged host. We have two hosts and we have the SAN, and so it was the most cost-effective at the time for us, as beginners with SAN technology.

We are currently looking to replace this with a newer product because of its age.
