IT Data Storage is the second biggest expense in the data center. In 2011 more data was created in one year than in the history of the world combined. BIG data is here.

The correct storage strategy can reduce storage requirements by 90%
The correct Data Storage, Backup, Management and Data Recovery (DR) strategy can protect that data.

• Decrease the rate at which IT storage costs are growing: Traditional approaches to storage consume disk space at very fast rate relative to options available today.

• Reduce datacentre costs by reducing physical infrastructure and improving disk to data storage size ratio: Storage boxes (NAS and SAN’s) have significant power, cooling and administration requirements even when they are not being heavily utilized.

• Increasing availability for improved business continuity: Disparate silo’s of storage attached to individual servers are difficult to manage making them vulnerable for outage and much more difficult to effectively secure.

• Backing up data is time consuming and a loss of a physical server would lead to interruption in service in legacy storage with a long and uncertain recovery time.

In this economy, your investment in technology transformation absolutely must produce bottom-line value. As a result, we have developed a solution for customers that will help you achieve the following goals:

• Dramatically reduced storage costs: Go Storage with BIOS can see savings in running costs of up to 70% for their storage requirements, with up to 90% more efficient storage of data.
• Improve Business continuity through increased availability of hardware and applications: Go Stroage will allows for secure backup and migration of entire virtual environments with no interruption in service. This eliminates planned downtime and recover immediately from unplanned issues.
• Gain operational flexibility: Companies that ‘Go Storage’ are able to respond to market changes with dynamic resource management, faster storage provisioning and improved application deployment.

To break this cycle so that organizations can transform their IT from a cost center to a strategic asset, , companies should: Go Storage. Go Storage is an IT data solution developed by BIOS based on either EMC or NetApp (the two leading storage vendors by market share).

The following words describe Go Storage; simplify, streamline, optimize, efficient, cost effective, manageable, responsive, dynamic and agile. Go Storage can improve a companies ability to efficiently store, manage, carefully protect and easily scale all types of data management while providing quick payback on the investment. With Go Storage coimpanies can;

• NAS consolidation: Consolidation of individual NAS systems and file servers increases storage utilization while reducing file management complexity, network and server loads.
• SAN consolidation: SAN consolidation solutions for Fibre Channel, FCoE and IP SAN (iSCSI) can consolidate either DAS or existing SANs into more efficient storage pools.
• Unified storage consolidation: can significantly reduce costs by unifying storage infrastructure across storage protocols and storage tiers.
• Massively reduce stroage requirments: technologies such as de-duplication and effective archiving can reduce stroage costs requirments and costs by as much as 80%!
• Backup, recovery and archiving: Streamlined and automated backup, recovery and archiving processes can simplify day-to-day management tasks and improve the availability and performance of applications and systems

If you think your company could benefit from Go Storage, an approach to dealing with Big Data developed by BIOS, then we'd like to hear from you.
