StorageWorld
is a reference for my clients, colleagues in
the data storage industry, and end-users (hopefully
potential clients) to provide an overview of
the range of data storage service offered. There
is a wide & diverse network of independent
data professionals in the UK providing consultant
& engineering services on all aspects of
data storage, data network design, project management
of data system implementations, and offering
vendor-independent advice through either a direct
relationship with end clients or through third-party
suppliers.
The
objective of this site was to use the term 'StorageWorld'
as a name to describe an independent group of
professional storage colleagues who offered
their services directly, or through contracting,
to clients, and provides a platform to promote
and explain the type of services we provide.
It also serves as a contact point for services
currently rendered to clients, with restricted
sections that we may use as central reference
library. Suggestions,
comments, contributions, error corrections,
or other interest welcome.
The
complexity of different data storage platforms,
architectures, and formats, makes ensuring your
organisation is using the most efficient, reliable,
and appropriate data storage system, is a time-consuming
task that most organisations simply do not have
the time of financial flexibility to perform.
As
the IT supply industry moves quickly, introducing
new protocol standards, equipment specifications,
software systems, and storage formats, without
necessarily retiring existing ones, ensuring
the right solution is implemented requires dedicated
storage expertise. For the majority of businesses,
it is simply not financially viable to provide
a full-time internal data storage manager.
The
objective of StorageWorld is to provide expert
data storage advice and management services
to clients as and when the require it. We work
with our clients to develop their systems, working
with in-house IT staff on the technical side,
and departmental managers, project managers
& committees, and company boardroom, on
the business side. We essentially provide a
link between technical and business units as
part of developing robust and compliant data
storage facilities, that form the basis of disaster
recovery and business continuity planning.
