Additionally, Pillar recently completed an extensive survey from its base of more than 250 customers and found that on average, Pillar Axiom users see an industry leading 62-percent written disk utilization. One-third of those customers are utilizing more than 80-percent of their disk array resources. No other open systems storage array on the market today can deliver those levels of disk utilization with minimal to no performance degradation.

Many organizations have taken a disaggregated approach to ensuring application availability. The situation is largely a consequence of widely varying data types, usage patterns, SLA’s and purchasing practices. Often, this approach results in islands of storage held captive by individual applications. This issue is magnified by the fact that most enterprises have purchased incompatible point products with a variety of attach protocols, resulting in an environment where most storage capacity is grossly under-utilized. The associated management inefficiencies only compound this problem.

Pillar’s ability to consolidate multiple data management cost centers to a single value center is what makes the Axiom unique. Associated costs drop and utilization rates increase when multiple applications and tiers of storage are consolidated into one single platform - all while maintaining the most effective quality of service for each. The Pillar Axiom’s ability to consolidate multiple storage functions into a single array has proven to drastically increase storage utilization, but at a much lower level of capital spending.
