1 Logicalis Data and Storage Practice Our vendor-independent approach helps you find the correct storage solutions for your organization The Data Explosion The large volume of data fl owing into organizations which is increasing exponentially requires an unprecedented amount of storage and management. Some common customer data and storage challenges include: Fragmented Storage Environment For IT departments using a component-based storage architecture, it can become increasingly difficult for IT administrators to manage storage. Inadequate Storage Resiliency File servers are bulging and backups don t complete. Business Continuity at Risk A full restore of company data would be impossible in the event of a disaster. Degraded Application Performance Running critical workloads on a complex collection of storage subsystems and servers tends to degrade application response times. Emerging use of Shadow IT Business users are choosing external options such as Dropbox to meet their storage and data sharing needs. Our Approach Data and Storage Solutions We understand data and storage not just how to design and build storage solutions, but how to protect, recover, migrate and manage data in the massive quantities organizations are dealing with today. Our holistic, vendor-independent approach can help you: Improve Storage We can provide storage virtualization that increases capacity through higher utilization of IT resources, while reducing administrative effort. Increase Storage Availability We can establish retention rules, introduce tools to enforce them, and archive files that do not need to be accessed quickly. CONSULT Defining IT and business strategies BUILD Implementing IT and business strategies OPERATE Leveraging existing and emerging technologies as a service MANAGE Managing and supporting your infrastructure Implement We can help you keep up with the demands for heightened data security by converting disaster recovery into a managed and secure service in the cloud.
