Our vendor-independent approach helps you fi nd the
correct storage solutions for your organization
The Data Explosion
The large volume of data fl owing into
organizations—which is increasing
exponentially—requires an unprecedented
amount of storage and management.
Some common customer data and storage challenges include:
Fragmented Storage Environment—For IT departments using a component-based storage architecture, it can become increasingly diffi cult for IT administrators to manage storage.
Inadequate Storage Resiliency—File servers are bulging and backups don’t complete.
Business Continuity at Risk—A full restore of company data would be impossible in the event of a disaster.
Degraded Application Performance—Running critical workloads on a complex collection of storage subsystems and servers tends to degrade application response times.
Emerging use of “Shadow IT”—Business users are choosing external options such as Dropbox to meet their storage and data sharing needs.
Data and Storage Solutions
We understand data and storage—not just how
to design and build storage solutions, but how to
protect, recover, migrate and manage data in the
massive quantities organizations are dealing with
today.
Our holistic, vendor-independent approach can help you:
Improve Storage Management—We can provide storage virtualization that increases capacity through higher utilization of IT resources, while reducing administrative effort.
Increase Storage Availability—We can establish retention rules, introduce tools to enforce them, and archive fi les that do not need to be accessed quickly.
Implement Disaster Recovery—We can help you keep up with the demands for heightened data security by converting disaster recovery into a managed and secure service in the cloud.
Improve Performance of Critical Applications—We can show you how fl ash storage systems can help the business benefi t from improved application response times.
Encourage Storage Adoption—When you increase storage capacity and availability, that encourages people to use IT-sponsored storage instead of turning to ad hoc solutions.

Storage Design Solutions
We address your storage requirements in a
consistent way to meet your business goals, both
operationally and fi nancially
Storage technologies are not one-size-fi ts all. The IT environment customers have today—the way they do business, the level of in-house expertise, the organization’s ability to tolerate downtime, the degree of complexity they are willing to manage—are all considerations as customers evaluate the effectiveness of their storage infrastructure. We provide a total solution:
Converge and consolidate – Does your current set of solutions have excess redundancy in nearly all areas, from data centers to backup software? We can help you reduce the number of solutions in each area and standardize on one or two.
Provide process improvements – Would you like to provide superior service to the business at a reasonable cost? We can help you formulate a strategy that will enable modern data and storage management.
Modernize backup – Has backing up your data become problematic? We can help you reduce the number of discrete backup solutions and reduce dependency on tape technology. This reduces tape management and equipment maintenance costs while improving recoverability of data in long-term retention.
Support business continuity – Do you need a robust business continuity strategy? We can provide services that support local and remote recovery capabilities that meet your existing service level agreement (SLA), and which you can adjust to future SLA improvements that may be needed.
Solution Offerings – We offer a broad range of solutions that you can mix and match to meet your specifi c needs.

Data Transformation
Journey
The Data Transformation Journey is a process
designed to help storage administrators keep up
with the unprecedented infl ux of data.
This strategic approach will help to ensure that IT enhances your business, adds agility and enables your organization to succeed—and stand out—in today’s competitive environment. Along the way you will:
Move from making things work to making value for your business
Meet business needs as your company evolves
Start with an initial focus on effi ciency (lowering cost of storage), followed by a drive to get value out of the remaining necessary storage
Identify technologies that are outside of your organization’s core competencies, so you can fi nd better ways to manage your storage
You can count on Logicalis to help you move forward on the storage journey, from any level, with expert planning and implementation services
Let us show you what our data and storage practice can do for your organization.

“Logicalis has helped us prove that it is possible
for a relatively small agency to design and retrofi t
an existing data center in a way that reduces its
environmental impact and reduces cost at the
same.”
