Storage as a Service

Affordable access to best of breed technologies and efficient, flexible storage solutions.

Storage growth can absorb significant capital expenditure and requires considerable technical and management support. Storage as a Service allows, rapid deployment and real cost savings, providing flexibility for primary, secondary and back-up storage requirements.

The amount of electronic data is continuing to grow exponentially year on year. Regulations from bodies such as the FSA and US acts such as Sarbannes-Oxley now require data to be stored for extended periods of time. Collaboration and virtualisation also add to data growth. Whilst storage infrastructure pricing has reduced and the density of disk storage increased, the cost of the environment to house, power, cool and manage has grown significantly. Additionally, organisations need to increase disk capacity very quickly in response to changing business conditions.

Our secure Cloud based computing solutions deliver compelling cost savings over traditional business models through the sharing of infrastructure costs, without compromising service delivery. Our significant investment in Data Centre infrastructure and our highly skilled technical architects and service delivery teams make this a viable service model for our customers. This platform provides consistent, predictable expenditure for customers, with high availability SLA’s to guarantee the solution.
