What began as Storage, is today much wider. We are dealing with Data Infrastructures.The boundaries between Network, Compute and Storage are fading away. Storage is still an important part of it, but more and more controlled by the Software. Most of our customers are using Hybrid Cloud Solutions or are at least thinking about it. Unfortunately Storage is part of our Company name and this might generate a wrong idea about the type ofwork done.
