“According to a 2021 Evaluator Group survey of 249 decision-makers, more than 30% of customers want to do storage consolidation, pay-as-you-go approaches to storage, and have a predictable view of storage capacity,” said Gal Naor, CEO of StorONE.
The findings pointed out by Naor shed light on the shifting dynamics in the world of data storage. Let’s take a quick look at what that means:
Storage consolidation, one of the key trends highlighted in the survey, reflects a growing desire among businesses and organizations to simplify and centralize their data storage environments. This move is driven by the need to streamline management, reduce costs and enhance operational efficiency.
Then, there is the interest in PAYG storage models. This indicates a shift toward greater flexibility and cost-efficiency, allowing organizations to scale their storage resources in line with actual usage. Lastly, the demand for a predictable view of storage capacity highlights the critical importance of effective capacity planning and resource allocation in today's data-driven world.
Altogether, these insights underscore the imperative for businesses to adapt to changing storage paradigms to meet the challenges of the digital landscape – something that MSPs do not commonly offer.
Now, they can thanks to StorONE, an enterprise-class storage data platform, through a new program, StorMSP. Through this program, qualified MSPs will now be able to take advantage of a program designed to help them improve their bottom line through the most simple, profitable and flexible storage services program.
The offering allows MSPs to furnish clients with a comprehensive suite of automated storage management solutions via a versatile storage data platform capable of accommodating various use-cases.
Central to the program is the MSPs' capacity to secure financing for their investments in hardware and software. This financing option allows MSPs to implement a pre-configured platform while managing operational expenses strategically, fostering revenue expansion over several years. Furthermore, MSP clients can exercise flexibility in initiating their StorONE subscription payments, depending on the program tier they select for participation.
“MSPs can leverage StorONE to target high value and high growth service offerings focused on storage infrastructure as a service, using our innovative technologies to address a number of customer use cases that will allow MSPs to expand current customer relations and build new ones,” said Naor.
The Provide ONE Managed Services Program offers a three-tier structure: Silver, Gold and Platinum. The Silver tier is tailored for MSPs commencing entry-level services designed for small enterprise clients, while the Gold and Platinum tiers are geared toward offering more intricate and expansive storage solutions.
Within each tier, there are clearly defined capacity objectives and solution packages, simplifying the selection process for MSPs as they decide on the most suitable deployment strategy. The advantages encompass collaborative marketing efforts, technical assistance, an accessible online portal, comprehensive training initiatives and transparent capacity-based pricing.
The StorONE MSP program ushers in fresh opportunities for service providers to elevate their service portfolios and provide high-quality storage solutions to their clientele.
