“Data is growing at greater than 125% a year, yet up to 80% of this data remains inactive in production systems where it is crippling performance.” The consolidation of storage continues to be a major initiative among companies, both large and small. Strict regulatory requirements and compliance initiatives dictate that more and more data is stored and kept for several years yet be readily accessible at a moments notice. As customers search for solutions, one realization becomes very clear; all data is not the same. What customers need is a clear understanding of what information they have, how to classify, then distribute this information into cost effective, manageable tiers. AvTek Solutions' Storage Optimization Assessments provide customers the methodology, tools, and expertise to improve the efficiency of your storage operations.
