Storage & SAN
Capacity and performance planned before the array becomes the bottleneck.
Storage problems present as application problems, which is why they are diagnosed late. We baseline latency and IOPS per workload, design the tiering and protection to match, and keep an eye on the trend so expansion is a planned purchase rather than an emergency.
How we do the work
We measure IOPS, throughput, latency, and growth.
We design tiering, RAID or erasure coding, and protection.
We install, zone, and validate arrays and fabric.
We configure and test multipathing, snapshots, replication, and thresholds.
We track capacity and latency trends and plan expansion.
What the engagement includes
- Performance and capacity baseline
- Tiering and protection design
- Fabric zoning and multipath configuration
- Snapshot and replication policy
- Capacity trend monitoring and expansion planning
What you are left holding
- Performance baseline report
- Storage architecture and zoning documentation
- Snapshot and replication policy document
- Quarterly capacity forecast
Documentation is yours to keep, whether or not we keep working together.
You probably need this if…
- Applications slow at predictable times of day
- Array above 80% with no expansion plan
- Backups taking longer every month
How you engage us
Same engineers either way. The difference is how much of the ongoing work stays with your team.
Option 01 · Project
Fixed scope, fixed outcome. We assess, architect, deploy, and hand over with documentation. Your team runs it from there.
Option 02 · Most common · Co-managed
We own the design, the hard changes, and after-hours cover. Your team keeps day-to-day control with our engineers on call.
Option 03 · Fully managed
End-to-end ownership against an SLA: monitoring, maintenance, and reporting, with a named engineer who knows your environment.
Let's scope Storage & SAN against your environment.
An hour with one of our engineers gets you a realistic scope, a timeline, and an honest read on what to do first.
