Data storage consulting services & sales by Abtech Systems

Storage is one product division that should get easier as time goes by and yet it continues to be a challenge to every company. In this aspect of our business there are twenty successful ways to skin the cat and all twenty ways work to solve the immediate problem. The real problem is, most companies have all twenty of those cats living in their computer room.

Storage consolidation and predictive management are the things that are helping customers to be successful in using storage as a tool. Reducing the total cost of ownership in your datacenter needs to be a priority. TCO isn’t just how much it costs to add an extra byte of storage. It is the cost of procurement, support, life cycle, performance, replacement parts and the often unknown – management cost of the storage.

If we had our choice, our storage practice would always start with management of data in the proper tier followed by capacity planning and performance. Unfortunately, it rarely works that way. Every storage opportunity is an evolution from a very fuzzy starting point where the customer starts with direct attached storage and has either grown sideways from there or upwards to more sophisticated solutions. No one has ever thrown everything out and started over. So, the challenge is in helping clients analyze their existing storage and work from there utilizing newer technologies and best practices.
