IS YOUR ELECTRONIC DATA GROWING OUT OF CONTROL?

Many businesses are facing the challenge of growing data storage needs whilst balancing shrinking IT budgets. Storage Resource Management (SRM) is a solution to this problem by providing the tools to discover and analyse the electronic data held within businesses and allow for factual based decision-making on whether or when the business needs to invest in greater amounts of data storage hardware or restructure the existing investment by removing stail, duplicate or un used data.

Many customers have engaged Alpha, a UK based Data Storage specialist, to propose a solution with new and sometimes costly hardware platforms, only to find that when the initial consultancy was done Alpha were able to free up larges amounts of existing storage providing the customer with a short to medium term fix to running out of server disk space and lengthening backup windows.

We find that this approach not only allows us to take the pressure off businesses to make a large financial commitment immediately but also gives the opportunity for long term analysis of how data is growing and propose the best solution to meet the growth rate and give maximum return on investment" comments John Malabon, Marketing Director at Alpha who use TrelliSoft Storage Alert Suite of products to provide this information which can then be bought to use on a on going basis.

IBM has recently acquired TrelliSoft Inc, to add to its own Tivoli Storage Management suite of products reinforcing Alphas belief that the product is the best on the market .The acquisition of TrelliSoft is designed to help meet a growing business need to manage costs associated with the proliferation of data storage and increase storage resource availability.
