The multinationals have moved to 2.5″ server drives. Are you ready?
System builders for the most part have yet to adopt 2.5″ drives in mainstream servers. Yet Seagate sees these drives accounting for 34% of SAS/SCSI/FC units shipped in the 12 months ending in June 2008.
What’s the disconnect?
The multinationals have made the shift to 2.5″ for performance servers. They made the jump because they can provide servers with lower power, smaller footprints, and better reliability by using these drives. Seagate’s Savvio drive is a big part of that transition.
Your customers are seeing these solutions now. What will you say when they ask how your solutions compare?
The time is now to develop your alternative to these now-mainstream solutions from a lot of acyonym-named companies. The good news is that chassis manufacturers are ready now.
