We can help you reduce the Total Cost of Ownership of your storage infrastructure by means of storage audits and "health checks" to help you balance your storage requirements to your business needs. We can advise you about improving storage utilisation and performance, and how to improve your backup and recovery, business continuance and disaster recovery processes.
Skilled Imtech consultants can assist with storage consolidation and storage network infrastructure assessment, design and implementation, including NAS, SAN and Storage Virtualisation solutions. We can help you minimise risk of unplanned downtime, and loss of access to business critical information by developing cost effective disaster tolerant storage solutions appropriate to your business needs. To maximise utilisation of your storage assets, and ensure the best return on your storage investment we can provide advanced software tools enabling you to monitor and manage your storage resources effectively. Application of business related policies enables elimination of duplicated or unauthorised data, provisioning and optimisation of storage and forecasting of future capacity requirements based on current trends.
Increasing governmental regulation demands compliance with legal requirements. Imtech can help you minimise the risk to your business, and implement advanced solutions for applications such as e-mail archiving and information life cycle management. We can demonstrate a wide variety of storage solutions at our Imtech Centres in Chessington, Surrey and Altrincham, Cheshire and at locations in Central London and Harrogate.
Server Consolidation
Server Consolidation reduces the costs and complexity of maintaining multiple servers on different operating systems in different locations and promotes the migration of applications to more reliable centrally managed servers and storage.
Imtech can show you the cost savings, as well as the business and technical advantages possible. We also help you calculate the replacement savings based on hardware maintenance, software costs, operational costs, floor space and power requirements and provide the project plans that guarantee a seamless transition.
