storage and server infrastructure

With the vast increase in data that organisations need to process, store and manage in today’s digital economy, organisations are struggling

to cope using traditional distributed server & storage infrastructures whose capacity is massively underutilised. According to research firm Illuminata, as much as 50% of disk storage goes unused. Each new application typically requires the introduction of multiple additional servers which bring additional storage demands. Storage consolidation can unlock surplus server and storage capacity. With consolidated storage, resources do not need to be tied to specific applications and user groups, but instead can be more readily distributed and allocated to those who need them. Data and storage systems are more centralized, so administrators are more productive, so fewer IT staff are required.

Through automation of data migration from disk to tape or archive, additional cost savings and efficiencies can be gained. In addition, storage consolidation provides an excellent f

oundation for more effective business continuity planning and rapid disaster recovery. Consolidation will also allow the IT department to more easily allocate specific service levels to various groups depending on their needs and their strategic importance to the business. Transam can assist in all aspects of storage consolidation from needs assessment and architecture design through implementation to management security and process issues associated with the move to the new consolidated infrastructure.
