Overcoming Data Storage and Management Challenges

Today’s companies need to modernize their approach to data storage and management to accommodate the growing complexity of data and to support advanced analytics.

Unstructured Data

Companies increasingly need to store, access, and analyze unstructured data, such as audio and image files.

Data Silos

To reach accurate and actionable insights based on a complete picture of data, organizations need to use storage solutions that eliminate silos.

Inflexibility

Businesses must find storage solutions that can scale both up and out to meet the capacity and performance demands created by larger data volumes.

Lack of Visibility

When data storage is siloed and lacks unified management, companies can’t gain visibility into data utilization and changes.

Software-defined storage (SDS) overcomes today’s storage challenges by using software to abstract storage and management functions from the hardware.

ProActive Solutions takes a consultative approach to help companies decide if moving to SDS is right for them and then helps design, implement, and support a custom solution.

Unified Data Management Solutions: Optimize Data Control

Companies need to gain full visibility into data through unified management to optimize the potential for actionable insights. SDS manages, monitors, and controls storage through a single pane of glass for a holistic view of data. With SDS, storage can be managed across the business, eliminating silos and allowing your company to track and control data use wherever information is being generated or stored. ProActive will work with your company to understand how you need to manage your data and determine how SDS can best accomplish these goals through centralized management.

Automated Data Tiering Solutions: Optimize Storage Efficiency

To store data efficiently, your company needs to be able to move information to the appropriate type of storage. SDS automates data tiering, ensuring that more frequently accessed data is moved to high-performance storage. Less frequently used data can be transferred to lower-performing storage or archived in the cloud. ProActive can help your company manage and organize your data storage more efficiently by assessing your priorities and business requirements for storage, designing a custom SDS solution, and transitioning you to a more nuanced and cost-efficient way of storing your data.

SDS Solutions Scalability Solutions: Elevated Scaling & Performance

With SDS, your company can scale capacity and performance to meet the demands of workloads and increasing data volumes being generated by technologies, such as IoT. SDS enables automated and infinite scaling because it doesn’t rely on hardware with a limited number of nodes. Instead, SDS can draw from any storage volume, adjusting to data capacity and performance requirements without the intervention of an administrator or the need to provision new hardware. We will use our consultative approach to discuss your data capacity needs and challenges so we can design and implement the right SDS solution to increase and automate your scalability.

SDS Consolidation Solutions: Achieve Seamless Integration

SDS empowers your company to eliminate data silos by pooling data storage. With SDS, your company can join all your data sources, whether on-premises, in the cloud, or on endpoint devices, to create a consolidated storage volume. Consolidating storage through SDS allows your organization to get a complete and accurate picture of data so you can make better business decisions. ProActive can help your organization assess the current state of your data storage, identify data sources, and develop an SDS solution that brings all your critical information together.
