Storage Management

With Gartner forecasting 62% growth in data storage in 2011 data management has become more pressing than ever.

Whether it be investing in shared storage or looking to the development of disaster recovery solutions, Invicta IT can help provide the confidence that data is being managed from the beginning to the end of its lifecycle effectively and securely.

Servers, SAN and NAS

DAS, NAS and SAN storage all play their role in infrastructures at present, but are often implemented in ways that make it hard for them to integrate and work together through the differing tiers of storage to backup and archive.

Storage management begins with the server and storage platforms and their interaction with applications and key systems. Beginning to implement adaptable storage platforms with their management and automation functionality, organisations can reduce the amount of total data required and begin to manage data based on usage and store that data on the appropriate platform.

Find out how introducing storage management policies in conjunction with Hitachi Data Systems, NetApp, Exagrid, Commvault, and Symantec can help reduce storage and management costs by up to 40%. Call today for your free storage management workshop.

Tiering – The introduction of tiering can begin to reduce the cost of ownership of any storage system by ensuring the data interacts with the correct type of disk in the correct platform.

Archive – Storage continues to grow at a tremendous rate. It is getting bigger and more complex every year and the management of this data can become a challenge.

By introducing a strategy to manage your archive you can take back control of where the data lives and its integrity. This is essential to achieving the savings storage management can offer.

Backup and recovery – A critical area with most storage systems is in backing up and the path to recovery.

Understanding how introducing new hardware, software and hybrid solutions, like disk to disk solutions or deduplicated back up solutions can decrease the backup window and the time needed to restore to your original state.

Call Invicta IT today to help understand how we can help reduce the overheads associated with backing up your key systems.

Disaster Recovery – Disaster recovery is the process of recovering IT systems in the event of an incident that causes the loss of your IT systems.

Invicta IT disaster recovery practice uses a combination of technologies such as virtualisation, centralised storage, replication, automation and management to provide fully robust disaster recovery plans for any scenario.

Today, any loss of data can be catastrophic to organisations, the vast majority of these organisations experiencing a complete loss of business data, closed within a year should the data be unrecoverable.
