Complex. Inflexible. High TCO. Is this the reality for your storage environment? It doesn’t have to be. Instead, just imagine what you can do when you consolidate and virtualize your storage environment to:
- Reduce complexity—as you streamline compliance and disaster recovery processes while reducing the total number of vendor relationships
- Increase agility—as your transform your storage environment into virtualized pooled IT assets that respond to changing business needs and scale to changing user needs
- Boost efficiency—as you increase storage capacity managed per administrator by more than 25% and raise storage resource utilization to as high as 80%.
Transforming IT to be more efficient is a goal of every successful enterprise. American Digital can help you get there with storage consolidation and virtualization solutions from HP. We offer many options for storage consolidation that include:
Application Consolidation - reduce the management complexity and the associated cost of sharing information with new, centralized storage management.
Backup Consolidation - reduce your backup window and improve backup and restore services with tape-systems and archiving systems consolidation
SAN Consolidation - replace direct-attached with networked storage or completely consolidate network-attached storage (NAS) on a storage-dedicated SAN
Unified Infrastructure Management - reduce management costs by automating routine tasks such as monitoring, reporting, device discovery and provisioning
American Digital works with your team in reaching a storage consolidation solution that’s right for your needs. We address the consolidation process with our proven methodology.
