Storage

Users have an ever larger requirement for storage.  By focusing on helping you to provide fast access to shared information, we can help you to significantly increase efficiency and competitive advantage.

Areas of Storage Focus

Our approach to storage management focuses on the following areas:

• Content Management and compliance
• Archiving
• Storage as a Service
• Security and Resilience

We provide comprehensive monitoring services to help you to plan so that you never run out of space and data is held on the right kind of media to help you to keep control of costs.

Content Management and Compliance

Companies are responsible for the data on their networks.  Competent Solutions can provide software and best practices to help you ensure that the data on your network is safe and not wasteful.

Archiving

Not all data has to be kept on fast disk.  Competent Solutions can help you to store the correct kind of data on the most cost effective storage media.  

Storage as a Service

By making use of the Cloud, you can produce a storage strategy that will grow and shrink with your changing requirements.  Cloud storage can be instantly provisioned and reduced as your requirements change, which means that you only pay for what you need.  Cloud storage is available anywhere there is an internet connection so it works very well for highly mobile workers.

Security and Resilience

When it came to protecting data, the sole focus used to be on backup.  With the availability of low cost storage in the Cloud, which is resilient by design the focus changes.  Designs now focus on replication, correct level of change history and the ability to recover deleted data.  Getting the right mix of technology can be complex but with expertise from Competent Solutions Ltd you can get the most out of your existing investments and take advantage of the best of what's new.

Disaster Recovery

Competent Solutions have a comprehensive set of services for disaster recovery planning and testing.  If you have never tested that your backups can recover your IT to a new server, should yours be stolen, then you cannot be sure that it will work.  Increasingly, auditors both for commercial, education and charitable organisations are requiring a current DR test.
