STORAGE ASSESSMENTS
IT organizations today face many challenges to existing data protection capabilities from a variety of sources. Corporate information growth averages anywhere between 50% and 80%. Data storage and backup systems strain to meet reasonable backup windows and Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for information recovery. Other corporate governance initiatives such as: data encryption, data archiving and eDiscovery, disaster recovery, business continuity planning, and remote office backups—all pressure current data security and continuous data protection strategies.
These new requirements have led managers to significantly increase their storage capacity and now face unacceptable operating costs due to increased complexity and underutilized resources, a storage assessment identifies all of the contributing factors to inefficiencies, poor utilization, performance constraints, and low availability and provides specific recommendations for remediation while minimizing operating costs and maximizing ROI.

This assessment service identifies and prioritizes customers’ requirements, maps IT technologies and processes to business drivers, and delivers actionable data storage recommendations for improvement.
