Storage Fusion Remodels Pricing Options for Its SaaS Storage Resource Analysis
A monthly subscription to the company’s service is now offered at a flat rate, regardless of system capacity or data center topology.
Storage Fusion uses a software-as-a-service (SaaS) delivery model to provide comprehensive analytics for enterprise storage environments. Now, it has launched a comprehensive storage resource analysis (SRA) service using a flat rate pricing model.
The release combines all of Storage Fusion’s analytic modules into a single unified service with a monthly subscription fee.
According to Storage Fusion, SRA has helped organizations reclaim petabytes of storage capacity and has provided CIO’s with “the information they need to reduce capital expense and optimize the performance of their heterogeneous storage estates.”
The company calls its latest SRA release the “most powerful version to date.” It includes a comprehensive set of analytics that report on system utilization, capacity allocation, and disk-tiering based on workgroup classifications. It also includes the recently-announced environmental module that calculates power consumption of storage hardware down to individual disk drives.
In the past, Storage Fusion’s SRA service fees were based on the amount of disk storage capacity being analyzed. The new model eliminates this multilevel pricing structure. SRA’s range of enterprise class analytics is included in the flat monthly service charge no matter the total storage capacity or number and location of data centers.
“We believe that Storage Fusion has already established a new standard for independent storage analytics,” says Graham Wood, managing director at Storage Fusion, “and our flat-rate pricing completely changes the financial dynamic.”
