Storage Optionality

Storage You Choose, with the Private Cloud You Trust.

Private cloud gives IT organizations agility, control, and infrastructure-based capabilities your business demands. Easy enough, right? Except, when storage options are limited because of platform configurations or vendor preferences, organizations are forced to compromise on performance, consumption models, and control.

The Hidden Storage Traps in DIY Private Cloud

When you're building private cloud infrastructure yourself, storage decisions cascade into every other choice you make. And those decisions often come with constraints that aren't obvious until you're too far down the path to change course easily.

Hardware Ownership Forced refreshes and hidden CapEx for storage that’s already working

Performance Compromises Pressure to standardize on a platform that doesn’t meet the spectrum of your workloads’ needs

Risk and Complexity Time and risk associated with migrations, DR planning, and lifecycle maintenance

Rigid Structure Lack of predictable Opex, granular consumption, and ability to be opinionated about storage

Why Storage Optionality Changes Everything

The alternative isn't going back to the complex, siloed infrastructure of the past. It's about gaining the flexibility to choose the right storage for each workload while keeping a unified, cloud operating model.

The best compute and storage for each workload.

Scale what you need, when you need it

When storage is independent from compute, you can add capacity without buying servers. You can add processing power without over-provisioning disks. Your infrastructure investments align precisely with your actual requirements.

Deliver the performance every workload deserves

With a system that allows the freedom to choose storage platforms based on workload characteristics, you can align capabilities to demands. Each application gets exactly what it needs to meet its SLA.

Right-size compliance and retention costs

Capacity-optimized storage and intelligent tiering let you satisfy retention and compliance requirements without the "tax" of unused compute, which allows you to archive to dense, cost-effective media and tier cold data to object storage.

Avoid expensive hardware refresh cycles

Delay or eliminate costly hardware replacement by running existing storage behind the private cloud control plane.

The Advantage of a Cloud Service Provider

Even with the right architecture and the right storage choices, there`s still a gap: someone has to design it, deploy it, integrate it, patch it, monitor it, and optimize it continuously.

That`s where Hosted Private Cloud from Expedient changes the equation. As the reigning cloud service provider of the year for both VMware and Nutanix, as well as a top tier partner of each, our private clouds are built with optionality, performance, and, ultimately, outcomes in mind.

The Bottom Line: Optionality Is Strategy

The most effective benefits of private cloud are realized when you build an architecture with the flexibility to choose the best compute and storage for each workload, the operational simplicity to manage it all from a unified control plane, and the support of a provider who handles the complexity so you don`t have to.

Expedient Private Cloud offers three different storage and hypervisor configurations:

  • VMware with Pure Storage
  • Nutanix with Pure Storage New!
  • Nutanix Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI)

Sam Larson, Principal Technologist for Nutanix at Expedient, wrote about our role in helping Pure and Nutanix build out their partnership.
