IBM Client Storage Assessment Transformation

Take your first step towards a managed hybrid multi cloud with IBM

The task of understanding how effectively you are using your data storage infrastructure is an on-going challenge for all IT departments. Any storage transformation project requires an accurate picture of the current environment before the journey to a fully optimised architecture can begin. Storage Assessment from IBM can provide this understanding. The assessment provides in depth multi-vendor information about both your primary & back-up storage environments, wherever your data resides – on premise or in the cloud. IBM provide a comprehensive single pane report showing your existing storage plus a comparison with a strategic aligned target solution, that will be extremely useful whatever storage vendor you subsequently select.

What you get

A single pane report that visualises your:

• Existing storage environment – the reality of your current storage configuration, utilisation and capacity metrics
• Strategic target solution – an optimised future configuration that delivers improved service
• Financial business plan – substantiating the savings you can make to your ongoing storage costs
• Operational and performance issues resolved
• Migration plan – the high level steps to enhance your storage effectiveness and efficiency

Benefits

• Gain new insight into your storage environment, where data really resides; whether on premises or in the cloud
• Envision an optimal storage end-state that “sweats” existing assets, providing improved availability and performance
• Deliver significant total cost of ownership savings – typically 30% to 50% over a 3 year period
• A clear, deliverable transition plan that outlines the steps to realising these benefits

The assessment has been tried and tested globally with thousands of customers in multi-vendor environments. Produced within 3 – 5 days of data collection and combined with a follow up workshop, this is an ideal way for you to visualize how your storage and backup capabilities can align with the demands of your business.

• Zero cost
• Multi-vendor support
• Fast 3-5 day turnaround
