The SAN and storage market is a very competitive sector with more companies tabling a solution each year. There has been a move away from the traditional hardware, or spinning disk approach to the sale and the focus is now on the software or functionality value proposition that each vendor can offer.
This means that a different vendor from your incumbent supplier may suit your business' requirements for a particular project. This can lead to a more complex storage environment which is where ControlCircle can offer value both in the integration and implementation phase, and also the ongoing monitoring and support on a 24/7 basis.
ControlCircle will guide you through the decision making process with impartial advice towards the technologies as we operate a vendor neutral policy, so you can be sure you will receive the best solution for your business. If this is a green field installation the full scope of the project will be taken into account and advice offered on other areas of the business that may benefit from a SAN or NAS environment.
If an existing storage estate is present there are products available which will help to consolidate management of a heterogeneous environment such as the NetApp V-series or the Bobcat from OnStor to act as a gateway for a NAS environment.
If you wish to discuss your requirements please contact the pre-sales department on 0800 107 6769 or email storage@ControlCircle.com.
