The Total Economic Impactâ„¢ Of Cleversafe, An IBM Company

Description: Executive Summary Cleversafe commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study and examine the potential return on investment (ROI) that enterprises may realize by using Cleversafe object storage. The purpose of this study is to provide readers with a framework to evaluate the potential financial impact of Cleversafe to reduce the cost of storing massive data sets required for the collection and analysis of big data. To better understand the benefits, costs, and risks associated with object storage, Forrester interviewed an existing customer using Cleversafe. Cleversafe’s object storage technology replaces traditional RAID systems using technologies that offer the same levels of availability and data protection with significantly lower overhead.
