The purpose of this page is to ascertain what our future storage requirements will be based on people's needs. We are also trying to formulate a system of tiered storage to give people choices based on the performance and availability needs of their particular application(s).
The ultimate goal is to have a scalable storage system that can fit the needs of each application with respect to budget,performance, and availability.
