SGI - LSI StorAge

For organizations grappling with exponential data growth, implementing a data virtualization strategy is an absolute necessity. But achieving this can present a number of challenges:

  • disrupted operations and applications during implementation
  • difficulty with rolling back and recovering data
  • risk of data loss and integrity
  • and the complexities of multiple vendor-specific tools
The SGI Virtualized Storage Migration Solution addresses those problems by providing fabric based storage virtualization services in heterogeneous storage environments. With this solution, organizations can allocate and manage disparate storage resources without getting locked into a particular vendor's storage platform. As a result, enterprises gain increased flexibility, better alignment with business objectives, improved utilization and reduced costs. Most importantly, customers gain these benefits while minimizing the risks typically associated with moving data between platforms.

Key Benefits:

  • Eliminate Vendor lock-in. Choose the storage device that best aligns with your organizations needs
  • Advanced Data Services. Any-to-any, heterogeneous data migration, replication, thin-provisioning, cloning and mirroring
  • Lower cost. Improve utilization; reduce footprint, power and cooling; enable easy technology migration
  • Foundation for Advanced Data Services. Rapid application recovery, application test & deployment, cost effective disaster recovery
