Storage

The explosion of data has combined with advances in virtualisation and Wide Area Networks. We work closely with you to determine your storage needs and match a solution that fits. Whether you are looking to extend your capacity, increase reliability, take advantage of shared storage or move data offsite getting the right solution upfront can save you money and pain. We offer our experience in selecting, configuring, managing and upgrading storage devices.

Storage Area Networks
Dedicated storage technology has moved from large enterprise through to all sizes of business. However, it can be challenging to both take advantage of the features and to select the appropriate solution. Whether fibre channel or iSCSI, switching, single or stacked trays, we understand the benefits and trade-offs between designs and vendors. It can be challenging to select the right combination of drive speeds, form factors, connectivity and capacity while meeting your budget needs.

Network Attached Storage
Where the need for redundancy and performance is replaced by cost/capacity restraints or file level services, Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices provide ideal solutions. We take the time to understand how you will use your device to ensure it will meet your needs, whether it be for primary file storage, backup targets or replication.

Tape
Despite the increasing demand for disk to disk solutions, tape based storage has an important role to play in many organisations. Tape storage allows for offline, physically robust portable media. We help organisations take advantage of existing tape infrastructure or in selecting new solutions to archive low tiered data, create archives of backup solution and meet compliance requirements.
