SmartStack ZERO – What the Dickens is that?
Last year we posted an article with some ground-breaking news about Santa Corp deploying SmartStack in their datacentre to help solve the IT challenges they were faced with, in a 24×7 growing manufacturing and distribution business. In case you missed it, a link to the article is below:
View last year's post - Santa deploys SmartStack
Recently we arranged a reference call between Buddy Christmas who is Head of IT over at Santa Corp and our latest prospect, the formidable Mr Ebenezer Scrooge, who was very interested in learning about how he could use SmartStack to reduce his escalating IT costs at his business Scrooge & Marley. Whilst SmartStack offers so many benefits in terms of cost savings, datacentre space reduction, ease of management, performance, capacity, and scaleability the attractive price of the entire solution is what appealed to Mr Scrooge the most.
Despite NG-IT offering an amazing deal on the solution including design, deployment, migration and training, Mr Scrooge did not want to part with a lump sum of his hard earned cash. We are in the business of helping our customers get what they need, so we happily obliged.
SmartStack Zero is an offering from NG-IT that lets you purchase a SmartStack solution from us without paying a penny. Instead smaller payments can be made on a regular basis to suit you, without the burden of a large initial payment. Like Mr Scrooge, many businesses today are faced with financial challenges around the best use of cashflow and the tricky balance of investing in their business, this can often prevent them from making much needed investments that would save them money in the longer term. SmartStack ZERO delivers the best of both worlds.
So don’t be haunted by the IT of Christmas Past and Christmas Present. Take advantage of the IT of Christmas Future…today. Merry Christmas from NG-IT!
Our SmartStack ZERO offering is just one way in which businesses can save money. The SmartStack solution itself offers many other ways to save money which we will highlight in a series of short posts over the next few days. In the meantime, if you want to know more about SmartStack ZERO, please do not hesitate to get in touch with the team.
How SmartStack saves you money – Part 1 – Storage
Mr Scrooge is keen to understand exactly how SmartStack offers such exceptional value…..sometimes it seems too good to be true to get so much from so little. Today we will look at how the efficiency of the Nimble Storage array, which makes up the storage part of the converged infrastructure solution, helps reduce cost.
How SmartStack saves you money – Part 2 – Compute and Networking
Our last post helped Mr Scrooge understand how Nimble Storage helps to reduce costs, so today we wanted to tell him how the Cisco UCS which makes up the compute element of the SmartStack, can help him save on costs too.
