ESG Economic Validation Report

Independent economic analysis by Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), a division of TechTarget.

This report quantifies the economic benefits of deploying RackTop BrickStor SP as a unified cyberstorage platform — covering total cost of ownership, risk reduction, and operational efficiency gains compared to traditional NAS with bolt-on security.

• Lower TCO

  BrickStor SP customers reported less than half the cost of alternative NAS solutions when factoring in security, compliance, and operational overhead.
• Ransomware Risk Reduction

  Active Defense stops attacks at the storage layer, dramatically reducing the likelihood and blast radius of a successful ransomware event.
• Operational Efficiency

  Unified cyberstorage eliminates the need for bolt-on security tools, consolidating capabilities into a single platform.
• Compliance Simplification

  Built-in audit trails, immutable snapshots, and policy enforcement reduce compliance labor and audit preparation time.
