Business Intelligence

Are your systems up to date and functioning properly ?

STORMATRIX can help you optimize your infrastructure

STORMATRIX recognizes that today's data centers face an unprecedented wave of change in both their physical infrastructure and business demands. Server and storage virtualization, exponential growth in the volume of business-critical data, and evolving legal requirements all directly impact an organization's information availability strategies and necessitate their continuous reevaluation. Left unchecked, the accumulation of these changes over time can, and will, compromise the integrity of any information processing environment.

STORMATRIX Business Intelligence Assessments are designed specifically to address these challenges and optimize your information protection infrastructures - increasing backup success rates, decreasing administrator and user frustration, and reducing costs in these systems' daily operation.

Organizations experiencing any of the following issues in their backup, archiving, or high availability environments will benefit from a STORMATRIX data protection BI Assessment:

  • Unacceptable data recovery failure rates
  • Overwhelmed backup windows
  • Changing data availability and retention requirements
  • Evolving audit, compliance, and SLA requirements
  • Rollout of new applications
  • VM sprawl with resulting uncertainties in data protection coverage
