Enterprise Storage & Planning
No matter the business, there exists a strong correlation between its storage environment and performance. The dynamics to turn this management challenge into a competitive advantage, businesses must employ an end-to-end storage management strategy. That is, storage environments should enhance—not hamper—business processes.
The core of E2E Global’s Enterprise Storage & Planning strategies include the following solutions:
Information Lifecycle Management
Critical to effectively forecast business requirements, control costs, and manage data, information is one of the most valuable assets of your organization today. Costly and complex to store and manage, this data increasingly challenges your company to predict needs and control costs. E2E Global’s comprehensive Information Lifecycle Management solutions take much of that burden off your staff by helping you:
- Meet regulatory compliance challenges (i.e. Sarbanes-Oxley)
- Improve e-mail retention / archiving
- Increase application performance through database archiving
- Optimize storage resources through virtualization and sophisticated management tools
- Effectively manage structured/unstructured data and content
Data Reduction & Deduplication
Data Deduplication is being embraced by organizations that struggle with issues of data proliferation. Data Deduplication is popular in disk storage because it reduces the amount of disk space needed to store data. The average UNIX® or Windows® enterprise disk volume contains thousands or even millions of duplicate data objects. As these objects are modified, distributed, backed up, and archived, the duplicate data objects are stored repeatedly. The end result of this is inefficient use of storage resources. Deduplication helps to prevent this inefficiency.
By eliminating redundant data objects, an immediate benefit is obtained through space efficiencies, including:
- Space savings of up to 90%
- Cost savings through reduced storage capacity requirements
- Improved storage resource efficiencies
Backup & Business Continuity
No organization is immune from the effects of an unforeseen disaster, be it fire, hurricane, or similar hazard. And a comprehensive, reliable disaster recovery and backup plan is essential to ensuring that data loss and business interruptions are kept to a minimum. E2E Global’s proactive data backup and recovery solution, along with business continuity plans, help organizations pinpoint the best solutions for their environment, all while helping to protect data from unforeseen disasters and ensure the availability of business-critical applications and information.
Let E2E Global help you gain a better understanding of how the solutions fit into your overall Backup and Business Continuity strategy and address these common questions:
- Is your organization prepared if a disaster should strike?
- Is your IT Disaster Recovery environment up to speed?
- How is your company addressing and managing issues of customer privacy, data security and regulatory compliance requirements?
Capacity Planning
Data storage capacity planning can be a complicated and time-consuming operation, but it doesn't have to be. E2E Global’s Capacity Planning solutions help simplify that process by helping your organization assess and forecast future storage requirements to meet changing business demands. An effective storage capacity plan will help control costs since just enough disk space would be purchased to meet the needs of users and applications. Saving money on storage resources that would otherwise go unused enables organizations to better allocate their storage budgets. But first, there are many factors to consider when developing a Capacity Planning strategy, including:
- How fast your data is growing
- Potential data storage requirements of future projects
- Whether data is structured or unstructured
- Tier(s) of storage and determining when to move data to these tier(s)
E2E Global is ready to work with your organization to develop a strategy for your unique storage requirements.
