Multi-Tier Storage Management
The growing challenge of managing corporate storage environments
Increased regulatory scrutiny, data governance, and transparency obligations in fields such financial services, legal services, government, corporate enterprise, education and healthcare are changing the way organisations conduct business electronically. The need to preserve, protect and recover mission critical data for longer periods of time as well as the requirement to be able to produce this data in a timely manner has become an industry agnostic necessity. Corporate clients, shareholders, and other key stakeholders are demanding greater levels of accountability from their business partners when it comes to the ability to search, locate, and recover data from their corporate systems.
This increased level of corporate responsibility along with the rapid growth in Exchange, SharePoint & File systems is presenting fresh challenges to organisations in meeting their Archival, Storage Management & Recovery requirements. These challenges have put pressure on IT Managers, Business Owners and Senior Executives to find effective solutions to manage the way their organisations handle the long term management of their corporate storage environments.
Unfortunately for organisations, most systems and services that offer the effective archival, storage management, and recovery of Exchange, SharePoint & File systems are complex, cost prohibitive and vulnerable to manual process related failures and risks. Without the adequate resources to research, evaluate, and design the right solution, organisations can often find themselves lumped with expensive software and hardware that falls well short of meeting their specific business requirements. The complexity of evaluating, implementing, and maintaining a suitable storage management and archiving solution often ends up being a burden on IT resources and takes away from their primary role of managing the businesses applications and IT business processes.

Global Storage's Multi-Tier Storage Management (MTSM) Service addresses the growing challenges associated with data backup, archival and disaster recovery. Our Multi-Tier Storage Management Service helps organisations to identify, categorise, police and manage their data based on type, age, and value to the organisation. This allows us to protect, recover and archive the right data at the right time for the optimum cost, ultimate accessibility and security.
