 Puleng recognises that Storage Management is not just about capacity; it's about enterprise-wide resilience and protection of an organisation’s most valuable asset - information. The continuity and success of a business is dependant upon information, which must be accessible by various entities such as customers, business partners and employees. If the data isn't reliable, accessible or compliant, then productivity, the reputation of your brand, and ultimately revenue may be threatened. Threats to your data are real, and they are many: - Disk error or failure
- Data corruption due to application failure
- Human error such as accidental file deletion
- Natural or infrastructure disasters that cause outages
Puleng’s Storage Management solutions have an absolute focus on the Life-Cycle Management of Information, through its many forms and guises. Puleng has been successful in the delivery of functionality such as traditional Backup, Recovery and Archive of mission critical data and Disaster Recovery through to the implementation of Storage solutions. The availability of our solutions coincides with the adoption of specific Corporate Governances and new regulations, which dictate that there is more reliance on the availability and integrity of corporate data. Puleng will also design, architect and implement Business Continuity (DR) Solutions for its customers. |
| | | Business benefits derived from Storage Management:
The implementation of a Storage and Resource Management Architecture must allow for an integrated approach to Storage Management that should address the following business initiatives: - Compliance against Corporate Policy.
- Deployment of Storage Infrastructure for improved availability of corporate data.
- Control of costs through resource planning.
Optimising the storage and management of information, based on its value to a business, is the primary goal of Information Life-cycle Management. Storage management solutions must facilitate Corporate Governance policies, business processes and Compliance guidelines as policies are established. Defined processes must maximise the business value of information from the moment it is created to the moment it is disposed of.
The simplification of Storage infrastructure will minimise fixed costs and allow flexibility when responding to business needs. Simplification includes consolidation, virtualisation and automated Storage Management.
The benefits of a flexible Storage architecture include:
A Lower cost of ownership per storage unit. Advanced storage management techniques, such as progressive incremental backup processing, pooling of storage resources, co-location of data and automated reclamation ensures that the storage assets are used in the most efficient manner.
Increased responsiveness to new storage requirements. A scalable architecture and design ensures that enterprises can respond to rapid growth requirements, efficiently and effectively.
Assured delivery of service. The focus on reliability as a primary design requirement ensures that the data assets of an enterprise are afforded the best possible protection against loss or corruption.
Improved time to market. A consistent and easy-to-access / easy-to-use management interface should provide a single interface for all aspects of storage management. Consequently companies can enable true enterprise-wide storage administration resulting in the leveraging of storage management skill sets across multiple OS platforms and simplification of processes and procedures. Again cost of ownership benefits are received as the potential for an increasing storage estate to be managed by fewer storage administration personnel.
Puleng Technologies disciplines, in conjunction with its Storage Management Solutions, have a strong focus upon the construction of a policy based Storage Management roadmap for the Life-cycle Management of critical, corporate data. Storage management solutions must have a broader view and approach to be effective and should allow for: - Business critical continuity
- Information Life-cycle Management
- Infrastructure simplification
Maximising business continuity and application availability depends upon facilitating reliable access to enterprise data and demonstrating high availability in order to maintain business-critical data by: - Efficiently backing up critical data
- Recovering enterprise data quickly
- Proactively avoiding potential outages
- Aligning storage resources with customers business priorities

| | | Components of Storage Management
A Storage Management solution should be focused on the key data protection activities of backup, archive, recovery, space management, and disaster recovery planning. Additional optional application modules for mail, databases, application servers, ERP, and hardware should provide higher levels of application and hardware integration with the data protection process.
The solution should include unique technology for exceptional performance and resource efficiencies that improve storage Return On Investment (ROI) while offering the following key components: - Robust protection of customers' data assets.
- Centralised backup and archiving of data networked throughout an organisation.
- Automated backup-restore and archive-retrieve of the data from many different platforms.
- Policy-based disaster preparation, planning, and recovery to control storage costs efficiently.
- Efficient Data archiving capability.
- Online "hot" data protection of the most popular business-critical applications.
- Improved performance for clients via online image backups, providing faster restores and backups with little or no disruption.
- Cyclic redundancy checking capability between the Management server and client, providing a higher level of data integrity.
- A health monitor showing status of scheduled events, database and recovery log.
- Calendar-based scheduling to increase flexibility.
