Storage Virtualization Services

HP Solutions - Storage Assessment and Design
Our Optimize Storage services can help any organization towards releasing capacity, improving operational efficiencies, reducing costs and carbon footprint by:

• Gathering data that provides full visibility of the total storage infrastructure

• Identifying the amount of used and free capacity, what the utilization is and how it varies over time

• Creating a detailed storage optimization design document ensuring that storage components can be configured and tailored specifically to effect the transition to a cost effective Optimized Storage environment.

Storage Design Workshop
The storage design workshop enables clients to fully appreciate the current and future storage requirements within their organization. It leaves them with a design document addressing solution requirements, detailed design, and full implementation costs. All known limitations will be referenced within the storage design document.

HP Storage Essentials
Is your storage going to waste?
As businesses grow and storage requirements spiral upward, the number of storage systems invariably starts to multiply throughout the organization. These disparate storage resources eventually become difficult to manage, which often leads to underutilized systems. In fact, it's common to see storage utilization at only about 50%, with an increasing level of wasted capital expenditure on new storage.

Time to take control

Imagine a solution that can map your complete storage infrastructure, manage the effectiveness of the resources within it (such as disk capacity and provisioning), reveal their effect on your key services and applications, generate audit / compliance reports and allow you to proactively plan for the future. All in real time, across multiple vendors and from one central console.

Smarter Storage – Better Business

HP Storage Essentials reduces the time and resources required to keep track of changes within your infrastructure, by providing a single view of storage assets. An extensive set of reports can be customized and scheduled for automatic email distribution – satisfying requirements for capacity and performance management and planning. Storage Essentials also provides quick access to business operation metrics, including audit and usage reports, so that your storage can be better aligned with business needs.

Get in Touch

Call on our in-depth knowledge of HP Storage Essentials to help you deliver an optimized storage strategy for your business. With a vast array of technical insight and experience and the flexibility to design a solution to fit your needs, we are ready to help you address your storage challenges—whatever they are.

HP DataProtector Deployment

HP DataProtector deployment is the design and installation of a backup solution ranging from a single non-clustered Windows server instance through to complex and large-scale environments, with incremental options as a customer’s requirements grow.

HP EVA Implementation

HP EVA implementation is the base installation of HP EVA storage presented to a single host server, with options to add additional hosts.

HP SAN Infrastructure Review

HP SAN infrastructure review examines the existing infrastructure from connected hosts through to the storage layer, including administration, management and documentation. We deliver a detailed report highlighting potential and actual problems and the risks they pose. We list recommendations for remediation to provide an updated, resilient, problem-free SAN which are individually costed should you wish to undertake a rapid implementation.

IBM System Storage DS8000 Turbo

High-performance disk storage for business-critical enterprise workloads

• Performance: New dual IBM POWER6-based controllers, PCI Express (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) Generation 2 internal component interconnect, and device adapter cards enable up to over 2.5 times performance improvement over previous models.

• Availability & Resiliency: Greater than five-nines availability1 with redundant, hot-swappable components, faster concurrent microcode updates, and a steady, 10-year lineage of microcode improvements built on the IBM POWER server architecture.

• Flexibility & Scalability: Clients can scale up from the smallest configuration to the largest configuration nondisruptively by upgrading drive capacity, host adapters, drive adapters, memory, and even the system’s processor complexes.

• Consolidation: Manage growth and reduce operational complexity through consolidation with high-performance solid-state drives, enterprise fibre channel drives, high-capacity Serial ATA (SATA) drives, advanced management capabilities, support for advanced IBM deduplication technology, and thin provisioning.

• Security: Protect sensitive information from internal and external threats with innovative self-encrypting disk drives that can help address PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) compliance requirements.

• Investment Protection: Exceptional total cost of ownership with Enterprise Choice warranties of up to four years on both hardware and advanced function software, while preserving client investments in prior models with full interoperability of hard drives, drive enclosures, tools, scripts, and copy services.
