Infrastructure and Application Needs<\/span><\/h3>\n

After several researches on IT maintenance services, in the last decade it has become increasingly obvious that supporting infrastructure is progressively failing both our business needs and adoption of innovation. This isn\u2019t new news.<\/p>\n

Today at the front end, developers are delivering increasingly powerful and hungry applications that could truly benefit businesses and deliver competitive edge, but these power apps place even greater demands on already-pressed storage infrastructures, often leading to insufficient performance that hinders digital enablement and adoption across the organization.<\/p>\n

The 80\/20 Rule<\/span><\/h3>\n

True, the 80\/20 rule \u2013 (80% of resources are dedicated to 20% of the most critical apps) \u2013 has become widely adopted across IT departments, meaning an organization\u2019s lifeblood. Apps such as ERP, CRM and automation tools are frequently \u2018treated\u2019 to upgrades like costly, brand new SSDs for full access speed and uptime.<\/p>\n

But what happens to non-critical applications such as file and print, archived data and email? Generally, they fall outside of the mission critical SSD turbo-charging regime and are often tethered to older, legacy, primary storage systems. That\u2019s not to say their role is not significant, quite the opposite in fact, but internal performance delays are deemed more acceptable.<\/p>\n

Addressing Performance in Legacy IT Environments<\/span><\/h3>\n

In our experience, IT Managers are loathe to rip and replace perfectly adequate, working equipment. So that poses another challenge: is there a way to address the performance, bottlenecking and system configuration clashes for non-critical apps running in such legacy environments? Let\u2019s start by talking about the advantages of outsourcing maintenance provision to bolster storage infrastructures that sit behind non-critical apps.<\/p>\n

At Linx Networks Ltd , we strongly believe there is a way, and we advise customers how to successfully extend the life of Dell EMC Clariion, Celerra, VNX, Isilon, Data Domain and NetApp FAS storage systems. Our tailored program begins with a holistic, one-stop appraisal and recommendation service that identifies gaps and suggests optimizations. We simply call this Linx Networks Ltd storage health check<\/p>\n

What is A Storage Health Check<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Health Check Concept is not new or novel but it is effective. As truly independent and unbiased advisors, Linx Networks Ltd can reliably assess multiple storage devices from different vendors and provide actionable insights that profoundly extend usability. These insights can range from fine-tuning to cope with performance I\/O conflicts, to flagging imminent failures in the environment.<\/p>\n

Our Health Check is conducted remotely, without accessing data and without disruption \u2013 inside or outside of business hours \u2013 by Netcare<\/a> expert manufacturer-certified engineers, who really know the hardware ins and outs. These experts can quickly identify operational storage issues, such as failed disk drives that could be hindering the infrastructure, or power supplies or components that are on the edge of failure; and provide an in-depth performance analysis to detail bottlenecks.<\/p>\n

The deployment of the recommendations produced by the verified Health Check process helps to reduce problems with data availability, redundancy and support and restore non-critical apps to their former glory.<\/p>\n

Storage Maintenance Choices<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Linx Networks Ltd st-2orage expertise goes beyond mere analysis and recommendations.  We also provide independent support for brands like Dell EMC, NetApp, Hitatchi, IBM and HPE, offering storage managers an <\/span> alternative to OEM managers that allow a number of advantages. Linx Networks dramatically reduces maintenance and support costs compared to the manufacturers, while managing equipment from multiple vendors under a single contract and providing unified solutions at a far lower price.<\/p>\n

Next Steps for Your Storage Maintenance<\/span><\/h3>\n

All of this is good news for the 80% of apps that do not require what we term as \u2018total reverence.\u2019  We encourage you to contact us for a Storage Health Check and see what we can do to improve your non-critical apps. With over 50,000 storage assets worldwide currently using our maintenance services, you will be in good company.<\/p>\n
