Capacity Planning
Efficient usage calculation and monitoring of your storage environment. With IT running costs becoming focal in today’s IT budgets, efficient capacity planning not only accurately indicates your available storage but also what the cost is of supporting the storage to your business. DSP can undertake a review of your current storage usage and recommend solutions to not only reduce your storage footprint, but greatly reduce your IT running costs.
Virtualisation
Reducing and re-using wasted storage will lower your operating costs. Virtualisation of storage and application platforms will also offer reduced costs often without the expense of performance offset.
Design
An efficient and robust design makes for readily available data, meaning your business is making money rather than supporting your growing IT storage costs. DSP specialise in resilient storage designs and topologies.
