Accenture Storage Transformation Solutions

Demands for data storage capacity have risen by 30 percent per year for some time. In response, companies have implemented large numbers of servers and storage area network (SAN) islands. This environment often has incompatible storage platforms, non-standardized processes and server utilization rates that remain at around 20 percent.

The solutions Accenture offers to gain control over enterprise storage are:

• Storage Infrastructure Assessment: Accenture helps assess existing infrastructure against industry benchmarks, as well as current and future storage requirements.

• Storage Consolidation: Unused disk space is used to accommodate future storage requirements.

• Storage Backup and Recovery: Design, build and implement a backup and recovery solution based on a deep understanding of company data recovery requirements, data prioritization and recovery time objectives.

• Data Archiving and Compliance: Retain valuable data while eliminating archival redundancy.

• Storage Management: Drive costs from the storage environment by strengthening end-to-end storage management capabilities.
