Overbuying storage capacity to get performance is very poor economics. In addition to the extra cost of unused storage capacity, ongoing expenses tend to be higher because an over provisioned system takes more time to manage and has higher power and cooling costs.

The Pillar Axiom 600 system was designed from the ground up to deliver business-critical, deterministic Quality of Service consistent with the business value of the application and its data. It eliminates the requirement to overbuy and under-utilize storage to buffer against application interference in a multi-tenancy shared storage system. This allows organizations to buy the capacity they need, scale when needed, and conserve capital in the process—all while delivering consistent performance under load.
