StorMagic SvSAN: A Proven Storage Solution for Retail

Published On: 25th May 2020//2.5 min read//Tags: , , //

Retail businesses around the globe are faced with several common challenges when it comes to managing IT. While these challenges are common within retail environments, they are unique in comparison with other industries, and require specialized solutions to address them.

Some of these challenges are:

  • Minimal Space: Retail stores often have limited rack and floor space allotted for IT equipment, as they need to allocate the majority of their space towards showcasing / storing their merchandise.
  • Limited Budgets: Particularly if store counts are high, retail organizations are looking to save as much as they can when it comes to IT resources. As their number of locations grows, so then does the amount of costly, IT equipment they have to buy per site.
  • Multiple Sites: Managing complex IT infrastructures for 100’s to 1000’s of store locations can be incredibly complicated and require specialist IT support.
  • Downtime: Uptime is critical within retail environments, to ensure stores stay open and businesses maintain customer loyalty, brand equity, and employee productivity.
