Why SUSE was Lowest
SUSE offers several layers of cost
savings for backup to disk. The
foundation is industry standard
hardware. Layered on top is storage
software with comparatively low
annual license fees spread out over
the life of your storage. Finally, support
is included in the cost of the software
license. SUSE Enterprise Storage 4
scales capacity but not cost.

The bottom line? IT organizations
looking to lower the cost of disk
backup should evaluate software-
defined storage solutions. Based on
easy-to-service x86 servers, the
technology is proven by hyperscale
public cloud providers and can be
deployed in private clouds for 1/2 the
cost of branded storage.
