Storage & Data Management - Storage Audit Services

With data capacities growing faster than ever before, storage capacity planning and data management are now key issues for senior IT managers. Worldwide, during the past 12 months, more IT budget has been spent on storage products than on server hardware.

As one of the industry's most experienced providers of high performance computing and storage solutions, Q Associates has launched a new service that can help maximise the efficiency of existing storage facilities as well as predict future requirements.

Q Associates' storage consultants conduct a detailed audit of enterprise storage usage trends. This enables rapid assessment of the storage infrastructure, allowing Q Associates to make appropriate recommendations on storage-related aspects of strategic IT planning. These might include:

• SAN/NAS/DAS planning
• Server consolidation
• Database performance tuning
• Storage usage chargeback
• Backup & disaster recovery
• Storage capacity planning
• Storage cost analysis
• Performance analysis
• Storage Utilisation Analysis

Once this information is available, Q Associates can assist in developing a full storage management strategy and capacity growth plan. This includes reviewing and defining backup and disaster recovery procedures as well as exploring technologies such as network attached storage (NAS) or storage area networks (SANs).
