Why ‘Sardina’?
The name mirrors our approach to cloud management and commitment to virtual resource optimisation. Imagine opening a can of perfectly packed sardines, where each one is optimally placed, leaving no space wasted. The analogy reflects our philosophy – to ensure that every VM finds its optimal place within the system.
In a world where server utilization in most data centers hovers around a mere 20%, Sardina Systems emerges as a game-changer. We have revolutionized the way businesses can manage their cloud resources, boosting utilization rates to a remarkable 80%. Our mission is to eliminate waste, deliver substantial cost savings, and drive better business results.
Why ‘FishOS’?
The name of our flagship product also comes from an analogy. Imagine a school of fish swimming underwater. These underwater creatures move as one organism, using data about water currents, temperature, and light to navigate efficiently. Fish are agile and capable of quickly adapting to changing conditions.
FishOS is our equivalent to the harmonious school of fish. It harnesses the power of data to make informed decisions about resource allocation within the cloud infrastructure. This smart approach enhances IT agility, optimizes resources, and reduces operational expenses. Moreover, FishOS is a fully-automated cloud platform that allows clients to remove the unnecessary manual labor and enjoy the benefits of fast and efficient operations, allowing them to stay ahead in today’s fast-paced and competitive environment.
What Sets Sardina Systems Apart
Sardina Systems challenges the status quo by offering solutions that are more efficient, affordable, and customer-focused than any existing alternative. We prioritize delivering results over making money on consulting services.
We don’t inflate prices based on our brand, like some of our competitors. Where others spot obstacles, we uncover solutions. For instance, we can perform a full system upgrade in less than five days, a process that often takes competitors months.
