Getting them to switch to a new release -- even a "bug fix" point release -- is a major undertaking that often is a complete roadblock. Just my experience. YMMV.

Customers do control the pace that they upgrade their machines, but we put out 
fixes on a very regular pace.  A lot of customers will get fixes without having 
to qualify a full new release (i.e., fixes come out between major and minor 
releases are easy).

If someone is deploying a critical server for storage, then it falls back on the 
storage software team to help guide them and encourage them to update when 
needed (and no promises of success, but people move if the win is big. If it is 
not, they can wait).
