Recent advances in processor technology, internet bandwidth and government legislation on data retention have all lead to exponential growth in the amount of data an organisation must store, serve and maintain over periods that can span decades. Users, both internal and external, demand fast, reliable, centralised access to their data without the interruptions that can be caused by backups, expansion or system failures. As a result of this massive growth, many organisations have ended up collecting a variety of different storage architectures from multiple vendors. This strategy often leads to:

   Increased Systems Management Costs – fragmented multi-vendor storage policies      often require a costly, multidisciplinary team of Storage Administrators

  Unbalanced Utilisation of Storage Hardware – Storage hardware assigned to one     project may be left unused while other projects require immediate capacity upgrades to     keep up with the pace of data growth. Instead of simply reallocating unused space, many       organisations are forced to purchase additional expansion

  Decreased User Productivity – fragmented storage policies can be difficult for users;     they must keep track of which type of data should be placed on which type of hardware     or file system. This can lead to data duplications and create support burdens for Storage     Administrators.

  Scalability Limitations – Once a particular piece of storage hardware has reached its     capacity or performance scalability limits, organisations may be forced to create yet     another repository for users, adding further complexity for users and yet again increase     operational costs.

Genisys' Data Storage Specialists design, implement and support High Performance Storage and Information Lifecycle Management solutions for all industry sectors with the aim of consolidating existing storage architectures and introducing a resilient, highly scalable infrastructure into the organisation. By harnessing the power of IBM System Storage solutions, SAN Volume Controller (SVC) and Tivoli Storage Manager, Genisys deliver enterprise SAN and NAS storage solutions that reduce complexity, downtime and operational expense.
