Storage Assessment/Optimisation

How can I win new storage customers and consolidate existing relationships?
How can I improve operational efficiency and reduce operational risk within storage?

Storage volumes are still rising and the consequences of loss of data, or access to data, are potentially more severe. IT departments are under pressure to reduce storage budgets, whilst struggling to manage SLA’s on existing budgets. The answer to these storage issues doesn’t have to be more capacity, faster arrays and bigger tape libraries, especially when the actual utilisation in most organisations is low.

Implementing the latest storage management technologies such as thin provisioning, archiving, de-duplication, and disk-to-disk backup can all help to deliver a better storage infrastructure, without costly hardware upgrades. The big issue for customers is assessing which technologies are right for them and how easy it is to select and implement.

Symantec has a comprehensive range of leading solutions in all of these areas, compatible with, but independent from, all major server and storage platforms. Symantec Command Central Storage solution allows a customer to understand its current utilisation and can be used to prioritise the benefits of each technology to their situation.

There is a great opportunity for Business Partners to win new customers and consolidate existing relationships by helping them improve operational efficiency and reduce operational risk, all within a reduced storage budget. Avnet and Symantec are looking to invest in those Business Partners by providing the messaging, marketing, training and complementary services to deliver these solutions.
