It provides users a comprehensive report on file use and resource allocation so they can take back control of their storage. The free, simple-to-use tool is available for download.

Companies frequently get locked into an expensive cycle of storing information, outgrowing current resources, upgrading for more capacity, and migrating to new storage hardware. There is a more cost-effective way to scale storage. The company and its partners are offering the free assessment tool with dynamic reporting so that customers have transparent views into their storage environments.

With detailed results on the active state of storage and the file make-up of active/inactive data, the assessment tool helps organizations understand how to free up their storage, avoid unnecessary upgrades and over-provisioning. It can help organizations save thousands of dollars each year and reduce operating and capital expenses.

Giving away petabyte of storage
Crossroads is sponsoring the Free My Storage giveaway to raise the awareness of new and more cost-effective methods of storage. Typically 50-80% of a company’s storage consists of inactive, fixed content that consumes expensive disk and flash resources. The free Storage Assessment Tool will empower organizations to optimize their current storage environments, escape vendor lock-in and reduce overall expenses.

We see many IT managers confused by vendors’ promises and the complexity of storage offerings,” said David Cerf, EVP, strategy and business development, Crossroads. “We want to help users take control of their storage, and the free Storage Assessment Tool gives them the insight to make their own decisions. There are options to traditional storage, and we want to make it simple for users. We fully believe in this approach – so much that we’re offering the chance for a free petabyte.
