Home >> Solutions >> Architecting Storage + Backup Infrastructure

DATA is integral to any IT Compute Infrastructure – if Data is not available, the infrastructure is of no use. The Compute infrastructure is of no use to Business if the Data within the compute infrastructure is not available for Analysis which enables better planning for Business growth.

Also as the compute infrastructure grows, the key pain point becomes the Management of Storage (or may we call it DATA) – issues like need for Storage space, hetrogenous environment, people dependency increases, need for Disaster Recovery, Backup window, etc.

Understanding the key need of customers/ application, we enable decision making for choice of storage solutions.
