Management pains from older DAS deployments, simplifying user credential management, reducing licensing, reducing data duplication, improving backup frequency and allowing for future growth were all criteria on his list. National Cycle had been thoroughly researching and was excited to hear that NetApp had introduced a new line of products for small businesses.
