In small to medium sized businesses, often a solution to manage and store digital files is put into place based on existing needs, at the time of need, constrained by budgets and without a strategy for future growth and expansion. This scenario can later result in a system where growth is either not physically possible, due to limited hardware configurations or is cost prohibitive to add-on. Small and medium sized businesses should look for a storage and file management solution that allows for growth incrementally through hardware, growth through performance and is packaged in an affordable and easy to manage system. By looking at the ability of a product to grow as the organization grows, many unforeseen future problems can be avoided.

• Vertical Expansion
• Horizontal Expansion
• Plug and Play
• System Migration
