Infinidat has quantified the financial benefits that Infinidat’s enterprise customers gain with a strong return on investment (ROI) and faster-than-expected payback on the purchase of the InfiniBox® G4 platform. Infinidat is fundamentally changing the economics of enterprise storage, creating significant business value for organizations with large capacity storage needs.

Cost challenges have escalated for enterprises in updating their storage infrastructure, as their data volume increases. However, enterprises that purchase an Infinidat G4 solution benefit from an 8.7-month payback period for enterprise storage with a 3-year ROI of 140%, essentially meaning that the InfiniBox G4 rapidly pays for itself.

With enterprise IT spending under increasing scrutiny to deliver more business value and given the changes and challenges of the global economy, Infinidat’s enterprise storage platforms are ideal for balancing CAPEX and OPEX costs, performance, operational efficiencies, and business growth objectives. CIOs and their IT teams can obtain rapid payback and a positive ROI with the adoption and expanded use of Infinidat’s cyber resilient enterprise storage solutions, which provide 100% availability and high performance, at scale, to modernize their enterprise storage infrastructure.

By using the InfiniBox G4 platform, enterprises are able to improve the efficiency of storage management, better support business operations, ensure storage-related uptime, and achieve significant cost savings. Both the InfiniBox G4 and the InfiniBox™ SSA G4 run on Infinidat’s software-defined storage architecture, InfuzeOS™, utilize Neural Cache deep learning algorithms for smart automation, deliver cyber storage resilience with InfiniSafe®, and leverage InfiniVerse® AIOps tools to simplify storage administration.

The InfiniBox hybrid system combines DRAM and flash caching layers on the frontend and high-capacity, cost-effective HDDs on the backend, optimized by Neural Cache algorithms. The use of HDDs lowers the cost of storage, while the InfiniBox still outperforms competitors on average latency.

For organizations that require the utmost performance for their applications and workloads, Infinidat offers the InfiniBox SSA G4, which is the industry’s fastest all-flash storage array with latency as low as 35 microseconds that powers unmatched real-world application performance. At the same time, the InfiniBox SSA G4 helps enterprises lower CAPEX and OPEX for solid state storage, representing the new financial equation that disrupts the outdated economics of legacy all-flash storage implementations.

Reducing CAPEX and OPEX

An enterprise customer who uses InfiniBox said, “The price per performance of Infinidat InfiniBox is phenomenal, and their support and services are excellent. The first few years of that service was rolled in at no cost; it was a huge benefit. Their customer service and maintenance allow us to keep our storage management headcount very low, and the performance, whether hybrid or SSA, is absolutely competitive with solutions that cost much more.”

The InfiniBox family allows enterprise customers to obtain optimal application and workload performance, simplify substantial storage consolidation, increase efficiency, integrate AIOps, provide comprehensive cyber storage resilience, and reduce CAPEX and OPEX. Both the InfiniBox G4 and InfiniBox SSA G4 platforms deliver the same guaranteed 100% availability, guaranteed performance SLAs, and white glove service that define the industry acclaimed Infinidat customer experience.

Infinidat has earned a very strong reputation for solution quality and reliability from an enterprise community that has zero tolerance for downtime. The InfiniBox G4 and InfiniBox SSA G4 systems for enterprise primary storage deployments are the most cyber resilient and most reliable storage solutions in the industry. They are also the highest performing and widely recognized for delivering a positive ROI on storage. This is a perfect fit for enterprises and service providers to cut costs.

Infinidat recently commissioned IDC, a leading provider of global IT research and advice, to write an IDC Business Value Snapshot, “The Business Value of Infinidat InfiniBox Solutions.”¹ The independent research found that the payback for an organization’s purchase of an Infinidat InfiniBox G4 system is 8.7 months, showing rapid payback for a high-end enterprise storage platform.

The research also revealed that Infinidat’s customers realize significant additional value, with an annual average of $7.5 million per enterprise ($199k per petabyte) − with a 58% reduction in three-year total cost of operations − attributed to their use of InfiniBox G4 solutions. The study included in-depth interviews of eight enterprise customers in North America and EMEA and applied a methodology to determine the business value of IT infrastructure spending. The InfiniBox G4 platform allows enterprise customers to maintain profitability, reinvest in new innovation, and offer services at attractive rates in highly competitive markets.

As the IDC Business Value Snapshot notes, “IDC found that interviewed organizations achieved significant value by using Infinidat InfiniBox solutions to cost effectively manage their storage needs to support IT and business operations.”

Dave Pearson, Group Vice President, Infrastructure Systems at IDC, said, “Business value has become one of the strongest differentiators for high-end enterprise storage today, compelling senior IT decision-makers to weigh business value and technical value more comprehensively when proceeding to refresh, consolidate, optimize, or modernize their storage infrastructure. Being able to achieve substantial financial benefits each year because of the decision you make for an enterprise storage platform is a strong reason to take a closer look at the data that has been calculated to measure business value.”
