Storage Solutions
Our consultancy-led, modular approach to IT Business Service Assurance provides an extensible and sophisticated solution to an extensive range of IT issues. This is an example of where our solution can be applied to resolve issues within a storage infrastructure.
For many years now, IT budgets have been under pressure. There has been a greater call for optimising existing infrastructures – getting the most from what you have in place. Research has shown that storage utilisation can be as little as 5% with an average of around 20%. The potential impact on your bottom line is enormous and unsustainable.
The issue facing most IT departments is that obtaining the information regarding performance, resiliency, allocation and usage has been difficult and time consuming. Storage, for example, is cheap – so the temptation is to just buy more. With increasing pressures to reduce carbon emissions, tightening budgets and space at a premium, there has never been a better time to address these issues.
Our solutions are making waves in the virtualisation and storage world. The ability to meter, monitor and manage the infrastructure and then apply this information to provide financial transparency of the storage provision is, for the first time, providing a clear and concise picture of the huge disparity between procurement, allocation and consumption. This knowledge is then being applied to manage the infrastructure, improving efficiency, effectiveness and providing IT financial accountability.
Applying our solutions to address storage infrastructure challenges will deliver you tangible returns; savings in time, money and resource.
