45Drives - Big. Strong. Fast. Storage Servers.

Storage Solutions for Federal Government Agencies

Government IT Departments have to deal with continuous growth of data. It tends to be stored on an ever-growing collection of platforms that vary in age and type. This is the classic ‘server zoo’. At 45 Drives, we create big, strong, fast storage solutions that are reliable, large, and exceptionally well supported. They are used individually, or in clusters, to accommodate data growth and simplify their infrastructure.

Join the many government agencies that are transforming the way they do storage infrastructure and curing their server zoo, while doing it on their terms through New Enterprise.
