This innovative new service provides corporate CIOs and IT decision makers with a hassle free solution for upgrading their fleet of employee laptops from slower hard disk drives to higher performance, lower power and more reliable SSDs. Through the STAR program, SanDisk relieves IT departments of having to manage all aspects of upgrading corporate laptops such as, endpoint inventory analysis, employee service scheduling, system upgrades, data migration, daily progress reporting, post-upgrade analysis and support. At SanDisk we re keenly focused on being a trusted advisor to CIOs and IT decision makers in order to help address their key pain points security, system reliability, employee productivity, and capex, said Tarun Loomba, vice president of marketing, client storage solutions at SanDisk. Our X-series portfolio is designed to address these pain points, and now with our STAR program, we can go one step further by relieving CIOs from the cumbersome process of migrating corporate information from existing HDD-based laptops to our highly-reliable, performance enhancing X-series SSDs, and do it for them in a timely, cost-effective manner. With today s increasingly mobile, 24/7 workforce, the demand for responsive computer applications is quickly expanding, which requires a high-performing, power efficient and reliable laptop. According to a survey conducted by IDC of mobile workers who owned at least one PC or Mac computer, 40 percent of respondents are interested in upgrading a PC within the next 12 months; 97 percent of respondents identify the PC as their primary computing device; and 83 percent believe it's more productive than a smartphone1. Often, the bulk of a PC may be working, but over time, due to disk utilization and software updates, the performance degrades to the point where it impedes what employees need it to do. Worse yet, it fails completely, often as a result of a mechanical disk drive failure. Rather than replace the entire device, an upgrade to a high-performance, highly reliable SSD allows companies to supercharge that PC quickly and for a fraction of the cost.
