Data Storage Solutions

IT infrastructures contain a growing number of necessary, yet seemingly disparate, components that need to work together flawlessly to drive business forward. Each distinct component—a new SAN/NAS, a new DR strategy, virtualization, or globally remote offices—requires your organization to learn, integrate and operate each technology. Integrating components can be challenging, if not detrimental, to your organization, already consumed by the daily operations of the business.

  • Custom Storage is a highly specialized organization—we are data storage and integration experts Our methodology is very straight-forward: To understand your technical and business problems, to understand your objectives, and begin offering guidance to meet those operational and business objectives.
  • Our end goal is simple: Deliver a data storage solution matched to your business needs, mindful of your budget constraints, and designed to enable you to achieve your business goals.

Disaster Recovery

Custom Storage knows that creating an effective disaster recovery strategy often times requires the blending of several technologies to accomplish your desired recovery point objective (RPO) and/or recovery time objective (RTO). Proactively, implementing the right tools and strategy BEFORE a natural or man-made disaster strikes will be much less costly for you and your team in the long run.

Customers do not want to hear what happened? Why it happened? Or, how it happened?  But rather, they want to know that it will never happen to them with the right tools in place.  
From an IT perspective, the answers to these problems are rarely addressed with a single, new technology.

We have the experience and know-how to identify potential risks and address them before they become questions.

Virtualization Solutions

Virtualization can be one of the best ways to lower your IT costs, provide more flexibility to your growing infrastructure, reduce costs associated with power and cooling and deliver greater efficiency and availability to your application portfolio.

Custom Storage can help with a comprehensive approach that will save you time and money while creating a positive impact on your organization and an exceptional ROI.  

Virtualization technology and strategies are a Custom Storage specialization and strategic area of focus. Custom Storage invests tremendous time and resources in our virtualization practice, which includes Enterprise-level Partnerships with VMware, certification with NetApp, Riverbed, PlateSpin as well as others. We strive to simplify and streamline your initial or advancing virtualization projects in order to ensure your company realizes the full ROI from your virtualization project.

Backup and Recovery is a Custom Storage cornerstone. A rock-solid backup and recovery strategy must be among the key business strategies for today’s organizations—from large, multi-nationals to the SMB market. We concentrate on proven technologies with regard to backup and recovery.

Email Archiving

 How long will it take you to find all emails  within a specific date range, or with a key phrase that could either make or break your company’s legal argument in court of law? What will that time cost?

Data Encryption

How important is your data? Can you quantify its importance? What business impact , brand damage, company/individual criminal or civil liability and costs are associated with data theft, breach of privacy, misuse or compromised security?

A proper data protection solution can involve several technology components and revisions to your practices and policies, involving multiple disciplines to include HR, legal, compliance and IT.
