Storage in Supply for Deft

Adding Guidance to Gear.

Deft aims to be a “hybrid advisor,” — not solely a vendor of products for its customers. The company differentiates with the ability to provide the right, custom solutions for their data centre, cloud and hybrid clients.

Meeting Storage Needs Swiftly and Precisely.

Deft sought a storage solution provider who could meet their multi-faceted business requirements — a partner who could handle the volume and tight delivery dates to exceed client expectations, despite recent fluctuations in global supply chains. According to Deft’s Senior Vice President of Technology Byron Dill, Deft required a vendor that could fully understand a customer’s requirements and work with them towards the best applied solution while quickly providing the scale needed within an expected time.

Deft ultimately decided on multiple units of Seagate’s Exos® E 5U84 expansion JBOD systems. According to Dill, Seagate’s ability to deliver product given the challenging market, Exos technology, availability, pricing, and higher density made them stand out from the competition.

Deft’s mission is to be their clients’ “hybrid advisor,” and not just a technology vendor. They wanted scalable solutions designed for performant, high-density environments — and Seagate Exos delivered. According to Dill, “It saves us floor space. It saves us management. Most importantly, it saves our clients’ money.”
