Some of the benefits of storage management include:
- Enhanced infrastructure that can strengthen business capabilities
- High-performance infrastructure that supports current needs, allows for affordable future framework for growth, and supports business continuity and efficiency
- Minimize risks with tiered storage systems, yielding tight data protection and fast availability
- Graphical interfaces that are easy to manage allow for minimal complexity across physical and virtual resources
S1’s Storage Management solutions help you meet IT requirements, eliminate complexity, and minimize risks with a system that is both resilient and responsive. We can help you choose storage options and advanced systems that will improve your storage utilizations and lower energy consumption. This solution also helps you establish a proactive disaster recovery plan for mitigating potential impact of fire, flood or blackout, and reduce overall costs with breakthrough innovations that are more affordable than ever.
Businesses in the manufacturing, communications, industrial, public and financial industries must have Storage Management Solutions to remain efficient and competitive.
Storage Virtualization w/SAN Volume Controller
Our Storage Virtualization solution offers companies the opportunity to significantly decrease their total cost of ownership through improvements in storage management efficiency, asset utilization and flexibility.
Potential benefits of Storage Virtualization include:
Network Storage
Network Storage offers cost-effective, rapid-access strategies for backing-up, restoring and managing critical business data. IBM System Storage N series offers a comprehensive and highly reliable data protection solution.
IBM System Storage N series provides near-line storage for maintaining less critical data on devices whose costs and performance lie between primary and tape storage. Solutions populated with SATA disk drives or an N series Gateway and the NearStore feature offer exceptional protection for single- or multi-site operations.
A three-tiered storage architecture allows an organization to match its storage capabilities and costs with its information lifecycle. Near-line storage is inserted between application storage and tape libraries where it can act as a large data cache or a replacement for inefficient tape backup devices.
IBM System Storage N series enables an organization to speed up recovery by putting higher-value email, documents and data on disk rather than tape. Backing up to near-line storage also can potentially consume less application-server CPU processing power than a conventional tape backup strategy.
This solution will scale your storage to match your evolving needs and improve business efficiency, especially for businesses in the manufacturing, communications, industrial, public and financial industries.
IBM XIV® Storage System
IBM XIV is an open-disk storage solution that represents the next generation of high-end Storage Area Networks [SAN] system. It uses a single-architecture approach to provide a winning strategy for ensuring compliance, simplifying operations and improving performance and reliability. Most important, it provides all these advantages while delivering an incredibly affordable total cost of ownership [TCO].
Most businesses need large amounts of storage to deliver advanced web services, and to support current requirements and future initiatives. Many of these businesses would like to leverage the capabilities of an enterprise-class solution but lack the resources to implement a complex storage array. IBM XIV Storage System solves this problem using a revolutionary open-disk system that allows customers to create a flexible, reliable and responsive IT infrastructures using inexpensive SATA drives.
Implementing a high-end storage system is more affordable than you might think. For a reasonable investment, you can improve your infrastructure and:
Systems overview: IBM XIV software is available in a scalable partial rack configuration with 27 TB to 79 TB of usable storage. Its design is based on a grid of standard Intel®/Linux® components connected in an any-to-any topology using Gigabit Ethernet.
IBM XIV includes built-in virtualization and powerful management tools that dramatically streamline system management and monitoring. An intuitive interface allows you to quickly migrate existing data to new storage or integrate additional storage into an established storage environment without disrupting ongoing business processes. A powerful self-healing feature enables the system to rebuild a 1 TB drive in as little as 30 minutes.
