VTdrive - Is your V&T Drive Due for its Service0 pages
You know that to maintain your car's reliability and
keep it on the road you need to get it regularly
serviced.
You want to protect the investment you made when
you purchased it and you also want the security of
knowing that it will always work when you need it to.
The same applies to your V&T drives. These need to
be looked after so they can continue to support your
business applications and ensure that they run
smoothly and efficiently. On average the payback on
your V&T drive investment is less than 1 years, but
you need your drive to be working for many years
longer than that.
You can prevent unwanted breakdowns and costly down-time by committing to regular
servicing.

cycles of its drives. The life cycle phases are active, classic, limited and obsolete. The
services offering is defined for every drive separately. The availability of individual
services depends on the drive's life cycle phase.
To keep your drives running smoothly, it is vital for you to know where it is in its lifestyle
and hence when it is due for a service. VTdrive can help you with this. All you need to do
