• Silverstring – new thinking 2010

Research by Gartner states that storage is growing by approximately 30% a year. Further indicators show that IT budgets and headcounts are being cut by at least 10% year on year.

When you add that all up you could quickly be getting into trouble with your storage. Lack of budget and resource could be putting your business performance at serious risk.

What can we do to help?

Silverstring has made large investments in developing innovative consulting software tools to help give clients more insight into their data storage and backup environments. Silverstring has also heavily invested in people - building up the country’s leading team of storage consultants.

All this technology and talent has been focussed on creating a new kind of storage management company; a company with the right tools and the right people, right now.

We have broken down what we deliver into three key areas:

Reducing, Automating and Protecting (RAP)

RAP is central to our entire philosophy. The three cornerstones combine to build intelligent platforms for storing your data, with policies matched to business needs. Once built, we can then provide intelligent administrative support. It’s what makes Silverstring different and it’s what can deliver competitive advantage to your business.
How does it work in practice?

We will need to assess your current infrastructure to diagnose problems. We use consult engagements here to benchmark. Our consultants use the unique Predatar toolset, which is faster, more cost effective and way more accurate than anything else out there.

We will provide you with a complete picture of any problem areas and recommendations in a timely, accurate and cost effective method. Nobody else can do this as nobody else has Predatar.

Once we have a clear picture of what you need, we can allocate the necessary people and tools to maximise the efficiency of your storage management. We will put RAP into practice.

Each element of RAP is made up of various services and solutions that meet specific business needs.
  • when you need to condense the amount of waste data in your storage and backup environments, when you need to remove complexity and cost – we will look to Reduce
  • when you need to improve the visibility of your storage or backup environment, save time & reduce errors by eliminating repetitive, labour intensive tasks – we will Automate
  • if you’re experiencing downtime in key systems – we will Protect and support your business with 24/7 assistance for your administration team
Want to find how the RAP platform can help your business?
