Bridge support for technology refresh

The customer was considering a refresh of multiple VMAX, VNX, and Centera systems and migrating over to NetApp. The systems in question were located in data centers in Washington, DC and Pennsylvania—and the EMC maintenance contract was set to expire in one week. EMC’s price to extend support for six months during a data migration to NetApp was $2M, and there were no guarantees of further extensions of support.
