Storage Resource Management

Description

Your organization has become ever more reliant on digital data storage, and your users have an expectation to reliable access and availability to these data stores. As your data storage platform grows and becomes spread across a variety of storage utilities, ranging from local disk storage devices, NAS or SAN type storage devices, to cloud-based storage solutions, the tools to manage any variety of these storage solutions can be time consuming, complicated, and cumbersome.

Black Box can provide custom programming and application development to enhance these tools to give you more control over, and better compartmentalize or operate your storage devices.

Why It’s Valuable and How It’s Beneficial

As your organization’s data storage needs grow and change, it is important to continuously evaluate your storage management platform. Having the appropriate tools to manage your data storage platform can enhance your ability to create or monitor data stores, or alert you of data store failure or potential failure, all while reducing the time costs when dealing with storage.

Black Box can work with you to provide custom software solutions built to address your exact needs to address shortcomings of your data storage platform. Providing a custom solution can create significant monetary gains by reducing the time cost of managing their storage platforms.
