Modernization and expansion of storage systems
Modernization or expansion of existing storage systems with the objective to make them state-of-the-art systems, is one of the most often requested type of retrofit. The necessary adaptations and expansions of the storage system are always done individually with a minimum of downtime.
KASTOretrofit increases availability and performance of each storage system. The competitive advantage in form of shorter delivery times and better delivery reliability can be passed on to the customer ensuring your position in the competition. The costs are often less than the costs of a new investment - therefore a modernization/expansion with KASTOretrofit pays off quickly.
