Did you know that Infinidat has aggressively led the storage industry in providing our customers with the best overall experience in the enterprise storage market? If you’ve been following us, you certainly know; if you haven’t, now you know. It is important to keep this information top of mind when you are making decisions on how to build or modernize your IT infrastructure, especially in the AI era! Enterprise architecture is ingrained in the DNA of our solutions. If you didn’t get a chance to read the blog by Fran Bruno about our architecture compared to almost all others, you can read it here - Architecture Matters: 3 is way better than 2!

Infinidat’s powerful and industry acclaimed architecture delivered by our InfuzeOS™, the operating environment that powers all our solutions, has enabled us to provide these guaranteed assurances to our customers, which includes 26% of the Fortune 100 and so many more of the Global 2000 corporations, service providers and every other major business segment. Our solutions are NOT verticalized; they are horizontal! We address the needs of an enterprise’s business by being able to address their IT needs across a wide swath of workloads, applications, and infrastructure platforms, delivering both technical and business value. Frequently, our solutions replace our competitors’ and bring tremendous value to our customers by consolidating many of these workloads into a single platform and removing their storage sprawl. Consolidation means a lot of things. Less to manage and easier to manage, reducing space, power and cooling in the data center, better overall performance and availability, and cyber resilience! A perfect example is where a Fortune 500 customer consolidated 288 floor tiles of a competitor’s all flash arrays to only 61 floor tiles of our InfiniBox® SSA all flash solution. This saved them 10’s of millions of dollars in the first couple years of making the switch. We will guarantee the performance, 100% availability, cyber resilience and cyber recovery of your data in a minute or less on our InfiniBox family of products. Many have followed our lead in guarantees over the past couple of years as we aggressively pushed the industry forward in the area of guaranteed Service Level Agreements (SLAs), well before the competition. You don’t have to take our word for it. At the end of this blog you will find a link to the Gartner® Peer Insights™ web pages where you can see hundreds of comments left by our customers supporting exactly what we are talking about!

There are three primary guarantees that affect business outcomes that we want to focus on: Cyber Resilience, Performance, and 100% Availability. Safeguarding your business’s critical data is more than important—it’s vital! Here is a link to our web page describing our guarantees - https://www.infinidat.com/en/guarantees

Availability

InfuzeOS
True enterprise architecture is built from the ground up. Providing 100% availability is not an option; it’s a requirement. As referenced at the start of this blog, our enterprise architecture is inherently designed for this mission. Powered by InfuzeOS software, the system ensures we deliver exactly what we promise. Leveraging a triple redundant architecture and all fully active, including the most robust data services, are the foundation of everything we do.

Performance

We guarantee it! You need the assurance that your workloads are going to perform optimally over the long term, because that protects your investment and ensures you consistently deliver on SLAs to your users. I talked about when we replace existing competitors and consolidating and eliminating the sprawl of siloed systems deployed over many years. Most of our competitors’ architectures can't effectively scale workloads on their systems, so customers add more arrays and isolate workloads across what becomes a conglomerate of storage, networking, data center space and complex infrastructure that drive OPEX costs up dramatically. Our consolidation approach continually proves that we drive down CAPEX and OPEX, make it easier to manage, drive down the costs for power and data center space, and improve overall availability. Plus, we back all of this with the best white glove support in the industry!

Cyber Resilience

We introduced our award-winning InfiniSafe technology stack four years ago, and we have continued to enhance our capabilities in providing you the best “NEXT GENERATION” cyber-focused data protection and recovery capabilities in the industry for primary storage. We assure you that your data can be protected instantly and non-disruptively with our immutable snapshots! We guarantee that the immutable snaps are, in fact, truly immutable; this is the most fundamental element of any cyber resilience strategy. Data recovery in under 1 minute is guaranteed and it doesn’t matter if the volume is tiny or many petabytes in size - it all happens at the click of a mouse. Yes, it really is that easy, and we make it simple to use; there are no complicated infrastructure upgrades and investments to get started. Easy and orchestrated and integrated into your existing cyber ecosystem eliminates errors and assures you are recovery ready!

Support

Of course, these assurances are great to have, but making sure you have a consistently great experience is of the utmost importance. Our customers are our best advocates; speaking volumes about the superior solutions and world class support we deliver. We have been recognized by Gartner as a seven-time “Customers Choice” award winner based on customers’ reviews of our products and services! Here is a link to where you can read some of the >500 customer reviews of Infinidat’s solutions: https://www.gartner.com/reviews/market/primary-storage-platforms/vendor/infinidat/reviews
