Challenges

Legacy arrays could not scale with business growth and rising data volume. Escalating energy costs made its datacenter footprint a major concern and power outages, natural disasters, and ransomware all threatened business continuity. Berrios needed a cost-effective way to scale its storage quickly to meet increasing data demands and stay resilient to catastrophic events like it has since it withstood Hurricane Maria in 2017.
