What happens to your business if you lose your data?

...That's an issue we'd all rather not face. In the 21st Century, information is the center of business. To ensure the safety of your business-critical data, your infrastructure must include robust hardware and advanced software functionality that will not allow information to be lost or corrupted, and regular backups to protect your current data.

ITG works with the industry's leading storage solution providers to build Enterprise Storage Networks (ESN) -- including SAN and NAS connectivity -- that are optimized to meet the demands for capacity, new applications, and service levels specified by our clients. This will centralize information management, enable information sharing across multiple organizations, and distribute information to where it is needed to provide better quality access and improved service levels. 

Even with the perfect storage systems in place, we encourage Disaster Recovery preparedness. These preventative measures include using redundant hardware, software, data centers and other facilities to ensure that operations can continue during a natural or man-made disaster and if not, to restore business operations as quickly as possible when the calamity has passed.

How well are you managing your data storage? Regardless of how your business model changes, you will always need a solid foundation on which to build your information infrastructure. ITG will help you find the most appropriate storage platforms and disaster recovery configuration to guarantee data integrity and availability with end-to-end data protection.

ESN (Enterprise Storage Network): A specialized, open network that is designed to offer universal data access for every major computing platform, operating system, and application in the world across any combination of SCSI, Ultra SCSI, Fibre Channel, and ESCON® technologies. Using an ESN enables corporations to accelerate data access, boost network performance, automate storage management, and fully exploit the power of information regardless of its location.

NAS (Network Attached Storage): Data storage systems connected directly to a LAN.  Information may be accessed though multiple operating systems over the network at any time, providing high performance file serving to end users at all locations.

SAN (Storage Area Network): The most significant breakthrough in data center computing over the past decade, enabling site consolidation, increased return on capital investment and unprecedented scalability. Yet a SAN is nothing more than separate data storage network with disk and tape devices at its foundation designed to increase application performance while allowing for unsurpassed client access to and interaction with corporate information.

This topology forms the basis for sophisticated solutions providing:

• Storage and server consolidation into more cost-effective super-centers
• Centralized Management of online and nearline storage assets
• Site Mirroring and Disaster Recovery
• Enhanced Device Connectivity (increased throughput, fail over paths)
• Unlimited Scalability
• Dynamic load balancing
• Uninterrupted 24x7 operation implementing Snapshots and Server less Backup
• Server Clustering
• Reduced Total Cost of Ownership
  • Higher utilization of Storage Assets
  • Reduced Management Costs
  • Competitive bidding across multiple vendors
