"With fixed-information growing at greater than 50 percent for most enterprises today and IT budgets declining, legacy approaches to managing primary storage capacity growth must be rethought," said Tom Cook, CEO, Permabit. "With our Storage Assessment Service, we prove the benefit of Permabit’s solution in dollars, ROI and days payback — and we deliver it. Depending on the customer environment, we’ve been able to save enterprises millions of dollars in annual expenditure by reducing primary storage budgets by one-third or more."

For a sample of expected savings, a new, free ROI calculator that generates a cost savings analysis in less than five minutes is also available. To assist enterprise customers in meeting 2009 budgets, Permabit is offering the Storage Assessment Service evaluation free of charge to qualified companies.
