Storage Virtualisation

The Challenge
The volume of data that businesses need to store continues to grow rapidly, diverting capital expenditure from higher value-add projects towards continual investments in new disk capacity. There is also a significant operational cost element: large numbers of under-utilised disks add to power and cooling requirements, and increase the administrative burden. Yet a more agile and efficient storage infrastructure is both achievable and affordable with the latest virtualisation technologies.

What we do
The way organisations use data is just as important as how they store it. Imtech ICT can help reduce the data v’s cost curve so that businesses can extract the information they need quickly and drive competitive advantage. 

Our innovative storage virtualisation and consolidation technologies can integrate with existing information infrastructures, (whatever the platform or physical location of the data source), to dramatically improve availability and manageability.

Imtech can ensure your business makes the best use of previous storage investments and achieves significant cost savings through the reduction in physical storage needs and administration.

Your business can take advantage of Imtech’s expert skills to deploy a dynamic virtualised storage environment to simplify the tasks of storage allocation, data migration, dynamic volume creation, thin provisioning, snapshots and cloning.

How it helps
Lower Cost of Ownership:

• Centrally managed virtual storage allows fewer people to manage the increasing amounts of storage and eases the administrative burden

Simplified Storage Capacity Management:

• By decreasing management costs and increasing asset utilisation, rapid ROI is experienced with storage virtualisation

Simplified Configuration:

• It’s easy to configure the storage to a specific environment

Simplified Allocation of Storage:

• Storage carved out into virtual volumes that can be allocated to servers when necessary and then returned to the storage pool for reallocation

Centralised Storage in a Heterogeneous Environment:

Different servers with different operating systems can be attached to and share a massive, centralised storage pool
