Data and Storage Management
Storage and Data Management Solutions
Today’s businesses find themselves faced with new storage and data management challenges as they enter the age of Social, Cloud and Big Data. Information is being generated at an unprecedented pace.
Let Morblue show you how to begin your storage transformation journey
Corporate data volume currently doubles about every 18-24 months.
From social, audio, video, email, digital video surveillance and meta-data (data about the data), data analytics, mail logs, machine data to more traditional business data like email, documents, archived chats, backup data, transaction records, companies struggle to find the necessary space on their legacy storage solutions. In fact, it is projected that meta-data will soon become a larger part and will eventually eclipse the actual data itself further adding to the challenge.
This growth requires that data value is both understood and is married to a tiered storage architecture that reduces under-or-over delivery, which keeps service delivery effective and efficient. This data growth further requires repeatable, auditable processes that enable capacity management, lifecycle management and provisioning management to name a few.
Driving down the cost of disk storage.
Spend less, store more, drive out complexity and reduce the amount of data to back up.
An Agnostic, Tiered, Storage Architecture Solution
Not sure which technologies are right for your multi-tiered storage solution? Morblue offers storage technology from all the major vendors across the entire spectrum of file and block storage and, with deep knowledge of the industry’s biggest vendors, can reliably point you to the best offerings the work together to suit your business needs and budget.
Flash-based storage:
- Applications significantly underutilize disk capacity to meet stringent performance requirements
- Applications with the most demanding IOPS or response time requirements: transactional databases (OTLP), analytical databases (OLAP), virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), high performance computing (HPC)
- Consistent sub-millisecond response time is needed to accelerate real-time enterprise applications: data warehouses, content delivery networks, rendering and video editing or modeling and simulation
- Demanding environmental requirements: physical space or power limitations, or a rugged environment with highly compress-able or dedup-able data types
- Virtual storage environments can easily add a high performance flash tier and accelerate general workloads automatically
Disk-based storage
- You need a resilient, higher capacity, good performance and advanced local and remote copy services
- Disk or SSD performance is acceptable to meet the demands of the applications in the system
- Increased choice and flexibility in subsystem design is desired
- Encryption of data-at-rest is required
Tape storage
In general when you need extreme high capacity at lowest TCO
- Tape based back-up
- Long term Archive requirements
- Nearline data access required to persistent data
Cloud storage
- Low TCO
- Lower management costs
- Often used in conjunction with on-site storage solutions
