Data Storage Consolidation

Improve the manageability of storage systems, platforms, and applications through consolidation. Many firms are opting to consolidate storage vendors, as well as finding efficiencies through techniques such as reclaiming existing, but unused allotted storage. Buckley operates with a vendor-neutral methodology, working to find the most advantageous approach to meet your clients' specific requirements. Some examples of storage consolidation benefits include:

 Cutting storage complexities and costs through environment simplification
 Increased efficiencies with new processes
 Storage designed and architected to be fully aligned with your overall IT infrastructure

We will perform a full assessment of the environment and develop a design and architecture plan with full cost justification for our recommendations. Upon acceptance, Buckley is ready to implement the approved design and help your clients derive the stated benefits.


Storage and Data Migration

Data can be likened to real estate - location is everything. Data is worthless if the location is unrecognizable, or makes it difficult to retrieve. With data consolidation plans comes the requirement for data migration - a costly, mission critical, but high risk activity. The benefits can be enormous though, and include vendor cost reduction as well as improved performance tuning and load balancing. These benefits also support the ability to more effectively manage SLAs for data retrieval and retention.

Should migration be necessary, a Buckley Storage Specialist will be assigned to work with your customer's storage administrator to prepare a migration plan - regardless of vendor. While Buckley is product agnostic, we have specialists certified on the vast majority of products available. This expertise ensures that your optimal data migration approach will be carried out with minimal disruption to your clients’ operations, and with no loss of critical information.


Data Protection and Replication

Today's economic turmoil is increasing the need for most sophisticated data protection and replication practices, while ensuring continuous availability to entitled parties. The best way to understand how to protect data is to understand from what it needs to be protected. Is it theft, employees, or from violation of regulatory and compliance laws? Buckley will evaluate your clients’ specific needs, and define the paramount strategy using the appropriate protection approach from the numerous methodologies currently available.

Buckley can help you mitigate your clients’ data security risks by understanding the potential cost of a breech or lost data, and build a cost justification for implementation of the recommended approach. Expert security consultants will design and implement the backup, recovery, and security plans to your specifications.
