You have recently been introduced to a prospective customer that conducts seismic analysis for the U.S. Geological Survey. Their data is growing rapidly, and they have outgrown their direct- attached storage infrastructure. They are requesting bids on centralized storage arrays to house the data files and provide the back-end storage for the analysis application servers. Because they are a startup company, they are very price-sensitive and have a limited budget. Which platform would you lead with under these conditions?

A.
Symmetrix
B.
EMCCentera
C.
CLARiiON
D.
Connectrix
