Flow Communications can assist with storage management, planning and strategy, carry out upgrades and infrastructure refreshes and analyse your data storage profile, helping you to reduce operational costs.
Flow Communications can analyse, design, implement, support and manage devices from a wide range of industry leading manufacturers and is experienced in end-to-end storage management, from replication and archiving to data backup and recovery. We place great emphasis on understanding where existing data storage capacity is wasted and are able to assist with the deployment of tools to assist administrators with the day-to-day task of identifying where storage can be released and re-purposed.
Flow Communications can undertake a complete, independent data storage healthcheck that gives you an accurate map of current usage and trends based on historical data. This analysis will pinpoint areas of less than optimal utilisation and extra or unnecessarily allocated storage capacity, highlighting the potential for consolidation across your storage infrastructure for both superior operational efficiency and a significant reduction in cost.
Flow Communications are skilled and experience in areas such as clustering, high availability and integrating common applications such as databases and backup & recovery products.
Flow Communications can help with your storage needs if:
- Your corporate data storage volumes are growing at an unprecedented rate due to rich text, graphics, video and audio
- Compliance regulations mean that you must permanently retain certain files or data in a secure fashion
- You are unsure about the data that you have stored, maintained and backed up each night and its real value
- You are interested in implementing technologies such as data replication, storage consolidation and virtualisation but are concerned about data migration and the continuing provision of existing services
- You are addressing your data strategy and would benefit from analysis of your data assets and data storage processes
Flow Communications can help you to:
- Establish a clear storage strategy
- Understand how to manage your data more efficiently
- Reduce the cost of storage management by maintaining only in-use business critical data on high cost storage devices, and introducing tiers of lower cost storage for non-critical data
