Server & Storage Consolidation
Northwest Computer Support storage consolidation services are based on the premise that enterprise storage should be managed independently of the computer systems it serves. Northwest Computer Support can help you design and implement a consolidated storage solution that will reduce your costs and improve your storage management capabilities.
Greater Flexibility, Lower Costs
By separating storage from the systems it serves, consolidation makes it easy to scale storage or server processing power as your needs change. You’ll be able to make more effective use of existing server platforms and possibly reduce the number of servers necessary to support operations. Our storage consolidation solutions have helped our clients eliminate overlapping hardware and software functionality and reduce their server requirements by 50% or more. This kind of consolidation lowers costs for both hardware and expensive server software.
Easier Management, Improved Performance
Consolidating storage from several server platforms, even with different operating systems, reduces administrative overhead and provides centralized management capabilities. Imagine a single management station that can configure and provision volumes, manage backups, and monitor capacity utilization for many systems.
A Storage Area Network (SAN) allows multiple servers to access a shared data pool. You can reconfigure storage and servers on the fly. Scalability is suitable for workgroups, yet expandable to support enterprise data centers. Storage consolidation lets you deploy new applications faster and more efficiently.
Whether you choose to aggregate servers in a single location, combine existing systems, or improve centralized control, Northwest Computer Support consolidation services can help you reduce hardware, software and administrative costs, and improve management efficiencies and capabilities.
