Overview
Regulatory Compliance Solutions
As growing amounts of information have amassed globally, so have the concerns over information authenticity, protection, and security. Government regulations across the world require implementing an ever changing litany of policies...
Storage Consolidation Solutions
Organizations of varying size want to implement storage consolidation to reduce and ease the tremendous effort required to locate, backup, repair, and manage hundreds or even thousands of distributed servers and storage devices within their environment. However, storage consolidation introduces many new challenges such as corralling all the data, identifying which devices should be centralized and minimizing disruption to the organization. ARKIVIO® auto-migrator enables IT departments to overcome these challenges by automating the consolidation process from initial planning and identification of data and storage resources to transparent data migration from legacy systems to the newer devices. Arkivio can provide the support and services needed to plan and implement a server and storage consolidation project to meet those goals...
Backup and Recovery Solutions
Backup and recovery remains one of the most fundamental yet important functions for any datacenter. As the amount of data organizations store online increases, IT departments face many challenges with backup and recovery such as skyrocketing tape procurements costs, performance degradation due to scalability limitations, and shrinking backup and recovery windows. Although IT administrators realize only a portion of their data changes and does not need a full-system backup, they have no way of identifying their in-active or low-value data or a clean method of reorganizing it...
Storage Capacity Management Solutions
Capacity management of storage devices has been given a high priority in many IT departments because administrators do not want to waste precious budget dollars over-provisioning storage capacity (typical storage is only 50% utilized at best) and they do want to take advantage of lower cost storage devices by implementing a tiered-storage architecture.
In the past, capacity management of storage devices had been given a low priority by system administrators. In strong economics times the budget to purchase new storage was readily available. Risking unavailability of end user data or applications due to a full volume was, and still is, unacceptable. Since it is difficult to re-provision volumes on a storage device to make under-utilized capacity available in these situations, the answer has been to buy extra storage and over-provision capacity for a given application or user. However, even in weak economic times storage hardware vendors have aggressively priced storage capacity enabling the continuation of this same pattern of over-provisioning...
