What People Are Saying

"While virtualization has delivered clear benefits to enterprise IT departments, it has actually created more problems than it solved on the storage side of the equation. Sanbolic has been addressing this problem for years, with strong enterprise validation to show for it. Melio v3.5 builds off this momentum, adding an increased level of application and data awareness for an existing infrastructure, while minimizing storage related cost and complexity."
