Around The Storage Block

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]In this abbreviated article based on an Around the Storage Block blog post, my colleague Simon Watkins looked at what customers said about HPE StoreOnce. There were too many quotes to include in my article so be sure to read the article on ATSB to see everything that was said. Here’s the article from Simon.

When proving the value of HPE StoreOnce, our customers are our best assets. Hear from our customers in their own words how they are transforming hybrid cloud data protection.

When it comes to earning buyers’ trust, customers are a vendor’s best assets. Their words carry more credibility than any marketing or sales pitch.

We wanted to prove the value of protecting your hybrid cloud with HPE StoreOnce by getting some of our customers on the record. So we partnered with TechValidate, a third-party customer research platform, to conduct a HPE StoreOnce customer survey aiming to better understand how StoreOnce is helping our customers reduce cost, risk, and complexity with flash-speed data protection in the data center—as well as low-cost archive and disaster recovery in the cloud. The survey results were very impactful. From small businesses to Fortune 500 companies across all industries and geographies, we’ve heard real-world stories about how customers are putting StoreOnce to work to deliver end-to-end data protection as they evolve to hybrid cloud.

Part two of the blog series spotlights some qualitative HPE StoreOnce testimonials and case studies from the survey that show—in our customers’ own words—how HPE StoreOnce is making a real difference to their day-to-day lives. And please follow along these social channels to learn more about why our customers are choosing HPE StoreOnce: @HPE_Storage and HPE Data Storage on LinkedIn.

Taking the time and stress out of hybrid cloud data protection

The TechValidate survey revealed that StoreOnce customers highly value the ability to simplify their cloud backup with a data protection solution that is built for the cloud and doesn’t need a separate gateway or virtual appliance. They commend the ability to seamlessly cloud-enable their backup and enterprise apps, natively integrate their choice of cloud, back up only unique data to the cloud for lower cloud storage costs, and store encrypted, self-describing backup data for simple cloud disaster recovery.

Here’s a sample of some of the customer feedback on StoreOnce’s ability to simplify hybrid cloud data protection:

Protect more data, faster for less

The TechValidate survey also provided many customer testimonials for how HPE StoreOnce delivers on stringent backup and recovery service-level agreements (SLAs). Customers highlight StoreOnce’s industry leading ingest performance, Catalyst enhanced backup speed and efficiency, as well as faster protection for their enterprise apps with HPE storage integrated backup with HPE RMC.  They also cite as valuable the ability to control data growth and reduce backup costs and footprint with intelligent deduplication.

Bottom line
