StorageX and VFM are Being Phased OutOn
May 1, 2009, Brocade initiated the
End-Of-Life (EOL) process for its
StorageX, File Lifecycle Manager (FLM), MyView and File Management
Engine (FME) products, as well as resold products from NetApp, IBM, and
StorageX. These products will no longer be sold as of November 2009,
with annual maintenance costs increasing 10% each year until all
support is discontinued in 2012.
AutoVirt’s StorageX Swap-Out ProgramAutoVirt has created a
solution for StorageX, FME, FLM and MyView customers whose existing products are being phased out. Up until June 30, 2010, customers on active maintenance with Brocade or its resellers for StorageX or VFM can receive:
- A 50% discount off perpetual software licenses of AutoVirt
- Two years of AutoVirt support at no cost
- Subsidized implementation assistance (if needed)
In
most cases, this program means that the full cost of
transitioning to AutoVirt will be less expensive than your existing
maintenance costs for StorageX.
