Growth
In Data
The explosive growth in data generation by businesses
is threatening to bring many organisations to their knees
as their IT systems struggle to cope with the increasing
demands of user generated data, databases, web pages &
caches, electronic books & brochures, on-line libraries,
and even email & contact management depositories.
Industry
analysts predict that the average business - even small
companies - could see their data storage requirements
doubling every three to six months. Simply ensuring that
you have enough readily available static storage (hard
drives, CD libraries etc.) to store this data is difficult
enough, but when you add the overhead of ensuring the
safety and integrity of this data through back-up programmes,
archiving & data migration, and data management & filtering,
the cost to even a small or medium sized business can
escalate.
This
is where dedicated data storage and management services
can help you. By working closely with your business to
evaluate your immediate and long term storage needs they
can help build a secure data storage system that can grow
with your business.
From
ensuring that capacity is always available and scalable
to meet future requirements, to implementing a proper
back-up programme, to moving data to off-line or near-line
archiving systems, you can have some assurance that your
data storage requirements are being properly planned for
the future.
Installation
Service Details
Full installation services
for all solutions. Fully trained and qualified technicians
can either carry out a full installation of the solution
or assist in the installation to ensure a rapid and smooth
integration of new hardware into your existing infrastructure.
Basic pre-configuration can be completed on your systems
prior to delivery but a full installation of complex solutions
will ensure the minimum downtime and is highly recommended.
Many
vendors and data professionals offer full on-site installation
and configuration services on any RAID system you purchase,
as well as the technical expertise to ensure your equipment
meets your exact requirements. Regardless of whether your
solution is 100GB or 100TB they can provide a full installation
services from start to finish. All physical installation,
cabling, power, and configuration can be carried out to
leave the system on-line and fully available to your host
system administrators.
Bringing
a new storage subsystem online and fine-tuning it for
optimal use in your unique business environment can be
a complex and time-intensive job. Although most RAID controllers
are fairly logical in the operation, the initial set-up
can be quite daunting if you are not familiar with the
technology. Professional installation services can help
alleviate problems during your integration process.
