Storage Assessments
 
Storage and data management are constantly changing from a technology perspective. Unconstrained growth of corporate information, a myriad of compliance, disaster recovery and other data protection influences and rapidly converging technologies in the storage layer all are creating a “perfect storm” of challenges for IT strategists and tacticians alike.

Companies that pick the lowest-cost or most specialized point solution for each IT project often find themselves with a very complex and costly management challenge. The operational costs extend beyond the technology into human skill sets, IT processes such as configuration and change management, and even includes unnecessary complexity in the support contract space. These operational complexities begin to weigh down companies abilities to remain agile, and cost-competitive.

Consonus Technologies' Consulting and Advisory Services (CAS) Storage Assessments provide strategic planning for people, process and technologies associated with data, information and storage management. This assessment service identifies and prioritizes customers’ requirements, maps IT technologies and processes to business drivers, and delivers actionable recommendations for improvement.

Storage Assessment Benefits

Storage Assessments bring different types of value to different audiences and situations through the types of problems they can solve:

  • Are there inefficiencies in my current use of storage that if addressed can defer capital expense or reduce operational expense?
  • Is my best approach to managing my storage environment a combination of new technology and outsourced services for the everyday routine?
  • How can storage improve my requirements for data protection including encryption, disaster recovery and general backup and recovery?
  • Can I reduce my cost of tape, courier, remote office support through the application of newer data protection technologies?
  • Can I improve service levels to my internal and external customers by reducing the impact of backups or other data management processes?
  • Can I support my company’s growth goals over the next 3-5 years with a flexible and extensible storage architecture?
  • How can I get a handle on my remote office location backups?
  • How can I reduce or effectively eliminate my backup window?
  • How do I establish or meet effective RTO/RPO objectives for local or disaster recovery scenarios?
