Storage Optimization

With the explosive growth of data, companies today need a cost-effective way to maximize utilization of existing storage assets. Our consultants can help your business find unused storage capacity and reclaim space allowing you to defer expensive hardware purchases.

Storage Virtualization

Networked storage systems create the challenge of efficiently managing a large number of disks that are grouped together into a single system. Improvements in this area are being enabled by disk-level virtualization that allows a large number of disks to be managed as if they were one (very large) disk. This allows storage to be allocated as needed, without having to specify which disk data is actually on. Since provisioning is more efficient, fewer disks are required and less storage needs to be purchased to meet the needs of users. Our consultants have the experience and knowledge to help you design and deploy a robust storage virtualization solution.

Disaster Recovery

Single Point of Contact can help you with the planning, design and implementation of a comprehensive IT Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP), or just Data Disaster Recovery.

Offsite Storage

Our consultants can assist you in developing a strategy to closely manage and archive your most mission-critical records in order to improve the accountability necessary for regulatory compliance. This information can then be stored at a state-of-the-art off-site storage facility that will afford you the ability to preserve and access those records quickly and conveniently.
