PrediSave From Storwize to See the Amount of Saved Storage

Storwize Inc., a provider of primary storage data compression solutions, debuted its PrediSave host-based software that offers users and potential customers an accurate prediction of storage capacity savings they can expect to achieve after implementing a Storwize appliance into their network architecture.

The predictive tool provides true ROI assessment of adopting a Storwize STN-6000 to provide primary storage compression without any obligation or commitment on the part of the user to purchase the company’s appliance. The easy-to-use software can be set to examine predetermined directories, file types or entire systems and return details about what kinds of data are currently being stored and how much space can be saved after compression.

“PrediSave is a valuable assessment tool that allows companies to examine their network data and determine if and how they will save through the use of our innovative compression technology,” said Jon Ash, VP Sales North America for Storwize. “By empowering potential customers with information on how much savings they can realize in not only primary storage reduction but in operational expenses, management and maintenance expenses as well, we are providing them with valuable information about their own infrastructure that allows them to make the best decision possible concerning how to best proceed in providing for the future of their company’s growing data demands.”

Storwize’s STN-6000 features real-time data compression technology that leverages a powerful multi-core hardware platform. The technology allows existing infrastructures to store as much as five times more data with no performance degradation, helping the most data-intensive enterprises maximize their growing network infrastructure at a fraction of their current cost. It requires no workflow changes, no software agents, no drivers and no configuration changes.  

Enterprise customers of all sizes can take advantage of the benefits offered by Storwize solutions. Storwize data compression appliances have been deployed to customers worldwide in markets as varied as oil & gas, finance, telecommunications, manufacturing and more. Deployment of Storwize solutions at these companies has seen compression ratios of 65 to 90 percent depending on data type.
