Storage Architecture and Integration
The exploding demand of data storage had driven organizations looking for more efficient and cost-effective storage solutions, including cloud-based storage. Fiber Channel is still the de facto for data center storage networking. Consolidating a data center or transition to a cloud-based solution requires addressing the requirements of legacy storage environment. As data center networks evolve to the virtualization and cloud-based infrastructure, organizations are able to adopt the emerging technologies, such as iSCSI, IPFC, and FCoE, to move to cloud-optimized storage networks while continue leveraging their existing IT investments.
Claricty’s Storage Integration Services provide assistance on the assessing the storage infrastructure, planning for technology and consolidation roadmaps, Implementing storage virtualization and consolidation, as well as data migration and backup, installation and configurations. The focus of the services is to help clients unleashing the full potential of cloud storage with unmatched scalability, performance, and reliability, typically involves in the following activities:
- Assessing the storage infrastructure, including storage array, storage area network, and data security
- Reducing network complexity by and flattering low-latency storage connectivity
- Integrating and optimizing high-performance data center WAN connectivity for data replication among different geographic locations
- Simplifying and automating end-to-end Storage Area Network (SAN) management capabilities
- Maximizing performance for I/O- and bandwidth-intensive applications
- Protecting legacy investments in existing SAN fabrics
- Implementing data migration process with the latest design and automation tools reducing operational costs and minimizing service down-time.
