What our clients say

Storage

Despite the importance of business critical data, many organisations still store the majority of their information on a server, looking no further than ensuring a viable backup on tape.

It goes without saying that your key business data needs to be protected and recoverable in a timely and effective manner. Use of raid technology in disk arrays and backing up to tape for offsite storage should be the minimum level of protection your business demands. Increasingly, this level of protection alone is unacceptable from the perspective of auditors and insurance companies and does little to enhance your business competitiveness.

Today however, how and where you store your business data has a significant impact on the effectiveness of your organisation; influencing your overall performance, stability, resilience and level of future proofing. Despite concerns about the high costs associated with employing more advanced storage systems, as technologies have evolved, the cost of such solutions are not now as restrictive as you may think. This is particularly true with regard to Storage Area Network (SAN) solutions.

All organisations would benefit from a SAN, however historically the costs involved have meant that they were only affordable by larger enterprises.  However the last few years have seen the costs tumble and SAN's are now realistic options for small and medium sized organisations as well.

We provide both traditional storage and backup solutions that range from individual tape drives to large scale libraries as well as protected disk storage in Direct Attached Storage (DAS), Network Attached Storage (NAS) or Storage Area Network (SAN) format. 

We have the proven and certified expertise to advise you on specific business benefits of SANs - as well as professionally designing, implementing and supporting the appropriate solution. What really adds value and efficiency to your business is the deployment of effective software on these traditional and newer hardware platforms.

	Snapshot technologies enable rapid recovery of data from multiple point in time copies without the involvement of the IT department
	Off-site disk based backup and/or replication of data provides effective protection from local data loss and enables rapid recovery
	Intelligent backup to disk solutions mean you need only ever do one full backup and thereafter only what has changed
	System imaging technology helps you to rapidly recover failed system images onto new and different hardware
	A well planned email archiving solution ensures the system is “compliant” whilst also providing an immediate backup of all emails and the ability to intelligently search the body of emails and attachments

 

Whether you require a simple single site solution, facilities for remote storage of disk based data backup, or a fully managed backup solution, we have the answer.
