SANpulse Show Solutions That Simplify Migration

SANpulse Technologies, Inc. announced support for enterprise private cloud initiatives powered by next generation EMC Corp.‘s storage systems.

At EMC World 2011 in Las Vegas, SANpulse showed how enterprises planning private cloud initiatives, including technology refreshes, can automate legacy hardware discovery and accelerate the adoption of new infrastructure while mitigating risk and reducing the total cost of ownership.

According to analysts, the move toward the private cloud will be driven by business success. While a typical IT organization invests two-thirds of its budget to daily operations, migration to a private cloud environment can free up between 35 to 50 percent of operational and infrastructure resources for reallocation elsewhere. Additionally, private cloud infrastructure provides a more flexible, instrumented and stable IT environment by virtualizing the entire data center to deliver greater application reliability, accessibility and performance.

The private cloud leverages technology resources in the form of a consumption based service, thus increasing efficiency and in turn creating a greater return on investment. Instead of filling predefined and limited roles, IT resources form a flexible pool that business people and processes can draw upon precisely when and as needed. The private cloud delivers the benefits of cost reduction, increased asset utilization, information availability, rapid deployment of new services, and provides a competitive edge, making use of the growing array of utility-based services available while keeping the assets ‘inside’ the corporate firewall.

Many larger enterprises today are preparing for technology refreshes that include private cloud deployment for the reasons cited above. With storage a major component of any technology initiative, the discovery and migration process must be seamless, leveraging proper planning and an experienced team backed by strong technology and processes.

SANpulse is helping organizations transition the data center to enterprise cloud computing with products and solutions. Advantages of this transition include gains in operational efficiency, business agility and savings across the entire business. With private cloud infrastructure, organizations benefit from pervasive virtualization, enhanced data center management, optimized and automated tiered storage infrastructure, accelerated backups, more secure environments, massive scalability, and more.

"After helping global enterprises successfully optimize over 53 petabytes of data attached to more than 39,000 hosts we have honed the storage migration process. This background is brought to bear for organizations planning any private cloud initiatives," said Marie-Pierre Belanger, VP, product management at SANpulse. "It is essential to utilize a proven solution that delivers seamless precision to kick-start an effective private cloud initiative. Leveraging our SANlogics software platform we encapsulate and automate the intricate processes involved in discovery and migration of complex infrastructures."
