Industry Solutions aimed at matching the needs of the maximum automation of important business processes.
Business Objectives
- Create or upgrade existing storage platforms to enable storage for new business applications.
- Ensure an effective data storage solution for business from the perspective of management, scalability, transaction costs.
- Ensure assured access and reliability to mission-critical data for applications and users, regardless of the location and access method.
- Ensurean effective access of applications to data; receive timely results from business applications to make critical business decisions.
- Minimize RPO (Recovery Point Objective) and RTO (Return Time Objective); Eliminate infrastructure downtime related to main activities of the organization that leads to loss of profits and reputation. Reduce RPO / RTO of business applications disaster recovery.
- Centralize and control, ensure data confidentiality and regulatory compliance.
- Ensure rapid implementation of applications in the branch networks as the organization growth, minimize CAPEX and OPEXassociated with such growth.
- Increase the mobility of employees, optimize workspace OPEX.
Solution Overview
Benefits
Consolidation via data storage systems
- Centralized and simplified storage management, keeping OPEX constant regardless of storage system size and scaling.
- Better asset utilization as compared to decentralized data storage systems, more efficient use of disk space: deduplication, archiving data.
- Optimal ratios of prices by stored megabyte of data; better data reliability compared to traditional data storage solutions.
- Simplified and controlled ability to backup data, simplified disaster recovery plans, minimum recovery time in the event of possible failures.
Clustering data storage systems: disk arrays in geographically separated data centers can be combined into a single 'virtual' disk array that is accessed by computer system’s in active / active manner. Combined with virtualization software this can lead to transparent migration and replication of data without application/service interruption; Synchronous and asynchronous data replication: optimizing RPO / RTO dependent on business requirements to restore applications and data and financial expenses related to the organization of synchronous replication.
Resiliency and Privacy
- Fast data recovery using both local and remote copies of data, synchronous and asynchronous data replication with the ability to restore the actual data to any time interval.
- Solutions of assured access to data in an active / active manner with geographically distributed data centers.
- Complete solution to automatically restart applications in case of physical server or virtual machine failure while preserving the data at the time of the failure.
- Encryption of data on disk storage solution.
