Storage Consolidation:

Data continues to grow at unprecedented rates. Traditional transaction-processing applications continue to capture more data. Recent regulatory requirements and newer storage-intensive applications, such as e-mail, multi-media, life sciences research, and biometrics, are driving growth rates even higher. For many companies, this means adding more capacity to disparate storage systems spread throughout the enterprise. This approach is costly to manage, wasteful, and unable to deliver the quality of service—availability and performance—application users require.

Are you still running your business-critical applications on server-internal or direct attached storage?

Are some of your storage systems maxed out while others are barely used?

Are your storage management costs growing faster than your budget?

How about your environmental costs—electricity, cooling, even floor space?

Are your backup windows exceeding the time allotted?

Are you able to meet the availability and performance levels demanded by your users and applications?

Consolidated, networked storage reduces management complexity and cuts operational cost.

The formation of centralized storage pools that can be managed as a whole and shared across applications and servers improves storage utilization. Consolidating storage reduces the number of footprints, delivering savings in environmental costs while improving availability and performance. Coupling consolidated networked storage with robust Storage Management software yields the highest total cost of ownership (TCO) and fastest return on investment (ROI) by greatly improving the amount of storage that administrators can manage.

MicroSoft Environment:

The Solutions for Microsoft Environments significantly increase availability of mission-critical Microsoft Exchange and SQL Server applications by leveraging snapshot technology to create Recovery Volumes. These solutions efficiently manage, replicate, and move copies of data to safe locations, providing different levels of protection for file, e-mail, and mission-critical database applications.

With these comprehensive solutions, users can resolve challenges, such as reducing logical data corruption impact, while providing for simplified and unified management across all data copies and source applications. In addition, the solutions are tightly integrated with Microsoft Windows File System, Exchange, and SQL Server, as well as with Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service.

An easy-to-use point-and-click graphical user interface (GUI) enables users to browse and quickly restore data. Storage managers can create, track, and manage snapshot data with policy-based administration. In addition, snapshot data can be moved from snap volume to longer-term formats, such as SATA, tape, optical, and “write once, read many” (WORM).

Email Management:

Today's enterprise operations depend heavily on e-mail to facilitate vital communications. Loss of e-mail can bring an organization to a standstill. E-mail also acts as a repository for important business and communication records that must be retained for long periods and protected against loss or failure.

Consolidating e-mail data onto a unified, flexible storage appliance increases productivity by ensuring fast, reliable access to e-mail.

Our solutions allow you to reduce costs and complexity and better protect data while retaining email to meet even the strictest of regulatory demands.

Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery:

In the big picture, keeping your company operating nonstop is more than just planning for disaster recovery—it’s about building a resilient enterprise. But it’s not as simple as it once seemed. The range of options can be overwhelming, from local backup to replicating data over long distances and establishing a practical methodology that expedites recovery while minimizing data loss.

You have to make balanced decisions based on business requirements, including risk exposure, regulatory compliance, best practices, and budgetary constraints. With the help of our business continuity professionals, you can assess your risks and implement a cost-effective solution that balances cost versus risk mitigation.

When disaster strikes, whether in the form of a hurricane, a blackout, or far more likely, a virus attack or software or user error, your ability to respond well to the crisis can make the difference between a bright future and the end of your business. At the very least, you are likely to incur significant costs in lost business and, perhaps more importantly, lost confidence by your customers, investors, and other stakeholders.

Business continuity is not just about insurance. It is about maintaining your competitive edge.

Continuous Application Availability:

There is evidence of strong correlation between how a company responds to business disruptions, and not just disastrous events, and its valuation by the market. It is expected that the solution provide effective leadership of the business continuity risk process. From an investment management perspective, the task is not to minimize losses in the event of some disastrous occurrence, but rather to maximize return on all investments over all contingencies. Risk avoidance and transfer approaches are no longer sufficient mechanisms for coping with unforeseen but probable disruptions to your business continuity. A paradigm shift is required, driven through insightful leadership. Clearly, the ability to lead a company in actively assessing, managing, and responding to risk will be on the test.

High availability business continuity solution that integrates several technologies to provide continuous availability of your mission-critical application servers through a wide range of disruptions from server failure to data corruption to the loss of an entire site.

Automated Storage Management:

Intelligent Storage Management solutions enable you to proactively simplify, securely manage and protect information and storage assets while optimally aligning with your business objectives. The key is management software — it intelligently manages your storage assets in concert with the needs of your business.

Our solution’s integrated resource management, recovery management, information management and mainframe solutions help you create better disaster recovery plans, lower storage-related costs and manage information through all stages of its lifecycle whether you have or you plan to deploy SAN, NAS, DAS or IP storage networking.
