Tuesday Tech Tip - Budgeting for Your Storage

Every second Tuesday, we will be releasing a tech tip video that will give users information on various topics relating to our Storinator storage servers.

In this week's video, Chris is back to talk about the aspects of storage that you need to understand when budgeting for your storage infrastructure.

For this series of videos we are about to release, we want to talk about how to help solve issues when it comes to larger decisions like your storage infrastructure – how to budget for storage, how you value your storage – the decisions that are made more in boardrooms and not in data centers

This video will look at understanding the storage hardware aspects of your infrastructure so you don't end up overpaying with yearly contracts for underperforming storage systems.
