What are Storage Management Solutions?

Managing stored data is becoming increasingly challenging – the amount and types of data is exploding while the size of files stored is increasing. Storage needs to be secure, but also needs to be easily searched, accessed, archived and recovered. Effective storage management solutions require the right technology tools to optimize space, safeguard data and reduce costs.

Our storage specialists can help you assess your storage environment and choose the right technologies to meet your specific requirements. New technologies, best practices and compliance guidelines are available every day and can include service solutions such as:

• Cloud Storage - Provides a means to reduce the amount of expensive on-site storage devices while only paying for the amount of storage needed offsite. Hybrid solutions can also be used to address public vs. private data.

• Storage Virtualization - Helps in the overall management of information by pooling the physical storage from multiple network devices into a single storage device managed by a central console (SAN).

• Storage Efficiency Technologies - Products can be used to address data deduplication, cloning, replication and thin provisioning to reduce the amount of data that needs to be saved to disk.

• Business Process Migration - Changes in an organization or in customer information may require the movement of data from one store, database or application to another.

• Desktop/PC Migration - Occurs when the entire user environment is transferred between two computer systems. This is required whenever users move to a new computer or upgrade to a new OS.
