DCIG Midrange Array Buyer's Guide



The DCIG Midrange Array Buyer's Guide contains product information on over 70 different Midrange Arrays from 20 storage providers. The Buyer's Guide scores each Midrange Array model on five different classifications (FC/iSCSI SAN, FC SAN, iSCSI SAN, Hardware and Software) and then ranks each model as 'Recommended', 'Excellent', 'Good' or 'Entry Level'.

The Midrange Array Buyer's Guide accomplishes the following:

  • Objectively compares Midrange Arrays from different storage providers by providing scores and rankings on each model
  • Provides a simple to understand data sheet for each Midrange Array that lists its score, ranking and features
  • Enables organizations to quickly create a short list of Midrange Arrays when they need to make purchasing decision.
  • Indicates which Midrange Array models support only FC, only iSCSI and both FC and iSCSI.
  • "Normalizes" storage industry jargon so organizations can objectively compare similar features on different Midrange Arrays
DCIG's Lead Analyst and President, Jerome Wendt, has an established reputation for writing objective data storage technology reports for Storage magazine and SearchStorage.com. Mr. Wendt drew upon that experience to expand those reports into a Midrange Array Buyer's Guide that provide guidance and solid recommendations on how to best proceed when making a buying decision.

To ensure the analysis contained in this Buyer's Guide was completed accurately and objectively, DCIG independently obtained information on each Midrange Array as well as used feedback provided by each Midrange Array storage provider.
