Capabilities

What this sourcing desk covers for storage systems & planning.

Block storage

FC/iSCSI SAN platforms from Dell, HPE, NetApp-class and IBM lines with expansion shelves.

File & object

NAS platforms for departmental through scale-out file workloads.

Dense JBOD

High-bay-count SAS expander enclosures for capacity-heavy builds.

HCI platforms

Hyperconverged appliances with compute, storage and networking in one validated build.

Controller options

Controllers, cache cards and license tiers quoted as exact OEM options.

Project logistics

Multi-shelf systems are packed, crated and shipped with shock protection.

How it works

From requirement to delivery.

1
Define capacity & protocol
Block, file or object — and the performance tier per pool.
2
Pick the platform
Chassis, controllers and expansion matched to the workload.
3
Configure drives & licenses
Media batches and software tiers are itemized per line.
4
Deploy-ready delivery
Firmware baselining and burn-in before dispatch on request.

From the facility

Real operations, photographed in-house.

Dense storage family — systems staged in the lab

Drive-bay detail during intake inspection

Assembly room — storage systems being built to order

Dense storage chassis — trays verified drive by drive

Exact identity first

Model, MPN, generation, chassis layout and selected options are separated before a commercial offer.

Condition is explicit

Factory-new, OEM-program and inspected pre-owned supply paths are shown separately where relevant.

Project-ready quotation

Quantity, accessories, licenses, packing, lead time and delivery route are confirmed before shipment.

Common questions

Storage Systems & Planning sourcing FAQ.

Can you help size a storage platform?

Share capacity, IOPS and protocol requirements — the team proposes chassis, tiering and expansion options.

Do storage systems include licenses?

License tiers are quoted explicitly as line items, so software cost is transparent.

Do you buy used storage arrays?

Yes — arrays, shelves and drives are accepted for trade or buyback after asset review.

Can you replicate our current array model?

Like-for-like and next-generation-equivalent quotes are provided side by side.
