Data has become the most valuable asset in many organizations

Storage has changed the way we do business in IT forever. With increasing regulations around data, stricter SLAs, and demand for more capacity there is now more than ever a need for solutions that offer flexibility, scalability, and most importantly, advanced data protection strategies. Our company was founded on storage consulting and we have acquired qualified individuals with technical and (or) engineering certifications on the following vendors

• FalconStor Software
• HDS
• EMC
• HP
• IBM
• NetApp
• OnStor
• LeftHand Networks
• Compellent
• 3Par

The problem with looking directly to manufacturers for a solution is they each typically focus on one specific technology and have jaded views of how their solution will fit everybody's needs. Sometimes you may end up with the right solution or one that provides most of what your organization requires but more often a solution is deployed and either not fully utilized or stretched beyond the device's capability. We have too often walked into infrastructures burning through multiple thousands of dollars a month just in power expenses to power a disk subsystem 20% utilized or a SAN dropped in with a plethora of servers to front end a NAS. These problems not only diminish your ROI but put your department's credibility at risk not to mention your career.

Digital Perfections takes a different approach to designing a storage solution. There are multiple avenues that can be explored in today's environment and before engaging in a sale our consultants will walk through your environment with enterprise tools and documented processes providing a free storage needs assessment where we analyze every critical aspect of your unique infrastructure and needs. Some of the areas looked at include:

• Storage Project Objective
• Network Infrastructure (LAN, SAN, MAN, and WAN)
• Server Infrastructure (Blade, Legacy Systems, Virtualized Environments)
• Application Needs
• Data types (file & block level data)
• Capacity Requirements
• Performance Requirements
• Growth (current and predicted)
• SLAs
• Redundancies and Deduplication Needs
• Current Investment Considerations
• Backup Strategies
• Business Continuity, Disaster Recovery, and Data Availability Requirements
• Recovery Point Objectives and Recovery Time Objectives (RPO & RTO)
• Management Considerations
• More...

After our consultants review your organizations needs and desires we can employ engineers from one or multiple vendors to design multiple solutions and come to you and your team with proposals complete with presentable ROI and TCO data including:

• CAPEX and OPEX Cost Structures
• Support & Maintenance Considerations
• Manageability
• Growth Plans
• Positive & Negative Comparisons
• Deployment & Rollout Plans
• Infrastructure Diagrams
• Procurement Options
• More...
