Data & Storage Platforms

Primary storage, backup and recovery platforms sized against real data growth and recovery targets.

Overview

Capacity is the easy part of a storage design. What decides whether the platform performs is the drive mix, controller pairing, the network connecting it and the protection scheme underneath — and whether the usable figure after overhead is the number anyone was told.

We size against workload IOPS and latency requirements, quote usable capacity honestly, and plan the protection platform alongside primary storage rather than as a separate project.

Usable, not raw

Capacity quoted after protection overhead, snapshot reserve and growth allowance.

Maintainable live

Controller redundancy and multipathing so maintenance is not an outage.

Protection included

Backup targets and retention planned as part of the same design.

What this covers

  • Block, file and unified storage platforms
  • All-flash and hybrid configurations
  • Backup appliances, deduplication and immutability
  • Replication and disaster recovery platforms
  • Fibre Channel and IP storage networking
  • Capacity monitoring and expansion planning
