Why Syneto.

Decision criteria
  • One contract for the whole stack
  • Italian-language support team
  • Live VM migration, no big-bang cutover
  • Per-VM rollback at each step
  • No professional-services dependency
  • 10-year economic horizon
Why not alternatives
  • Distributed-FS HCI requires 3-node minimum
  • Hyperscaler cloud: data-residency concerns
  • VMware ELA renewal: 3.8× the old price
  • Greenfield SAN refresh: ~€650k forklift
  • Multi-vendor stack: same on-call mess
