Data equals the currency of the Information Age. That’s why organizations must store and protect data while making it available as needed in a cost-effective manner.
In the future, businesses such as yours will trust their information to centralized data banks in the cloud. Until you’re ready to take that step, you need to optimize your local data stores. And that means reducing the number of servers and amount of storage you buy, and making storage as efficient and secure as possible.
iSys can help your organizations address the key elements associated with data management, including:
- Hierarchical storage management
- De-duplication
- Encryption
- Compression
- Information lifecycle management
Hierarchical Storage Management
Today, most storage is flat; in other words, everyone throughout the organization has access to the same level of storage. And this slows data-access times. But in many markets, employees, customers, and partners need faster and faster access to data. Most organizations invest in expensive storage to enable this.
But there’s a better way. The key is to store your data based on how it’s used, while addressing applicable regulations and risks.
iSys can help you devise a strategy that enables fast, secure access of critical data. Plus we’ll make sure you cost-effectively store data that is less frequently accessed.
De-duplication
In most organizations, especially large enterprises, data is duplicated in multiple places. And because every division or organization in an enterprise buys storage but doesn’t make full use of it, the storage – and investment – goes to waste. Plus, any changes to data have to propagate across all copies. In most companies, the result is data inconsistencies from one system – and storage appliance – to the next.
Let iSys analyze your data requirements and ensure you store data once and make it accessible as needed.
Encryption
Since data is the lifeblood of an organization, it must be protected while being stored and accessed – especially for businesses in regulated industries. iSys can recommend the best encryption based on your environment.
Compression
Transferring large data volumes is both time consuming and expensive. But with the correct compression algorithms, some data can be compressed 50-80%. iSys can suggest the most fitting compression approach so you can efficiently store and rapidly access your data.
Information Lifecycle Management
iSys can analyze your data and storage, encryption and compression needs to devise an efficient information lifecycle management for your data.
