Enterprise storage
Experience with EMC, Hitachi, NetApp and Pure Storage in enterprise environments.
- Block and file
- SAN/NAS
- Snapshots
- Data services
Storage and backup designed around the full data lifecycle.
We integrate SAN/NAS storage, connectivity, snapshots, replication and enterprise backup so capacity, performance and recovery match workload criticality.

Storage
Usable capacity is only one part of the design.
We review the complete I/O path, connectivity, growth, protection and failure behavior before changing a platform.
Host and fabric integration
Validate storage together with fabrics, hosts, HBA/NIC and multipath.
- Fibre Channel
- iSCSI where applicable
- Zoning and presentation
- Multipath
Capacity and performance
Size around I/O pattern, growth and active data services.
- Capacity projection
- IOPS and throughput
- Latency
- Snapshots and reduction
Availability
Review controllers, paths and protection domains.
- Controller redundancy
- Path redundancy
- Maintenance behavior
- Failure testing
Backup
A backup platform must be designed for recovery.
Retention, repositories and windows are tied to restore objectives and application consistency.
Enterprise backup
NetBackup, Commvault and Veeam environments across disk, tape and cloud.
- Policies
- Schedules
- Retention
- Repositories
Recovery validation
Restore testing is part of the service, not an optional afterthought.
- File restore
- VM restore
- Database recovery
- Parallel restore tests
Replication
Data mobility for recovery and platform change.
Replication is designed around bandwidth, consistency and the operational process that consumes the replica.
Replication design
Choose technology and mode according to source and target capabilities.
- Synchronous/asynchronous
- Bandwidth
- Consistency
- Monitoring
Recovery use
Define how replicated data is activated and validated.
- Activation
- Host presentation
- Application consistency
- Return path
Migration
Move storage without treating luns as the whole service.
Migration includes host paths, zoning, filesystems, databases and application validation.
Migration plan
Map source volumes and host dependencies.
- Inventory
- Target mapping
- Data copy
- Cutover
Validation
Confirm applications and performance after the move.
- Host paths
- Filesystems
- Database/application
- Performance baseline
Architecture Before Terabytes
Capacity is designed together with the I/O path and recovery.
Before discussing usable capacity we review how I/O enters the platform, which data services are active, which failure domains exist and how information is restored.
Host to media
We follow the complete path to expose limits and single points of failure.
- HBA / NIC
- PCIe
- Fabric / Ethernet
- Controller, cache and media
Data services
Each service adds value and also consumes resources or creates dependencies.
- Snapshots
- Compression / deduplication
- Replication
- Clones
Restorable backup
Policy is validated by recovery time and consistency.
- Retention
- Catalog
- Restore
- Recovery test
Evolution
The platform should grow and migrate without turning change into an outage.
- Capacity
- Firmware
- Data migration
- Lifecycle
Next Step
Contact SP TI →Review storage and protection together.
We can assess capacity, I/O, backup and recovery as one lifecycle instead of separate purchases.
