Hosting and infrastructure service providers rightly make a simple financial point: switching from traditional in-house IT to a hosted infrastructure service moves money from capital expenditure (Capex) to operational expenditure (Opex).

Benefits of the HP 3PAR Utility Storage family
The amount of data the average business needs to store has outgrown traditional technology. Your business is probably no different.
