“Scalar […] has become our trusted
advisor for architecting and
implementing our storage, server and
network infrastructure across multiple
data centres”

“We’ve basically replaced our
infrastructure at a lower cost than
simply the maintenance on our prior
infrastructure […] At the same time,
we’ve improved performance and
reduced our provisioning time”

“Some of the organizations we had talked
to only seemed interested in selling us a
product without understanding our
infrastructure. Scalar came in and spent
several hours white-boarding with us,
talking about how our environment
worked, where the pain points were, and
what we wanted to accomplish three to
five years down the line.”
