Astute Networks Releases: The ROI Pyramid – Calculating True Cost and Multi-Dimensional Impact of Storage Acquisition

Astute Networks,Inc. announced the publication of The ROI Pyramid – Calculating the True Cost and Multi-Dimensional Impact of Storage Acquisition.

Written for IT managers and the C-suite in mid-sized organizations, the white paper outlines the range of factors that contribute to or detract from true storage ROI, in order to help its readers evaluate today’s storage infrastructure options. The paper and its ROI Pyramid demonstrate that even small infrastructure choices can have a meaningful and extended reach within an organization – from IT operations to the business level.

“While the majority of storage purchase decisions are made at the device level, the choice can have an extended reach into operational costs and physical overhead, as well as an even greater consequence on performance, productivity and flexibility at the business level,” said Michael Schmitt, senior director of product management, Astute Networks. “In today’s highly competitive global economy, it is vital to the long-term success of any business, certainly those in the mid-market, that the multi-dimensional implications of the storage purchase decision be considered across each level of the ROI Pyramid  — Device, IT and Business.”

The ROI Pyramid Whitepaper – Calculating the True Cost and Multi-Dimensional Impact of Storage Acquisition and its applicability to the specific IT challenges and business objectives of the midmarket is available for download and was distributed at the Midmarket CIO Forum, taking place October 27-29 at the JW Marriott Starr Pass Resort in Tucson, AZ.
