Sustainability as a Selection Criteria
The factors involved in IT purchasing decisions vary from organization to organization as well as between industries and use cases, however, in general there are a few criteria that are consistently weighed to some degree in all storage decisions. Traditionally the criteria consist of some combination of cost, scalability, and performance.
Specific feature sets, vendor relationships, and other criteria also often play a role, but it is the previous 3 factors that are often at the core of storage decisions. In turn, storage vendors typically heavily emphasize these 3 areas across marketing materials, sales tools, and test validations.
