Malleus Enhances Offering With Storage Resource Analysis

Malleus Ltd, a Hammer company, dedicated to channel-only
professional services, added the Storage Resource Analysis (SRA) service,
provided by Storage Fusion Ltd, to its
portfolio.

SRA is an automated storage analytics solution which generates
an analysis of the customer’s storage estate without needing any specialist
vendor skills. It delivers both high-level summary information across the
entire enterprise, as well as detailed low-level configuration
information.

Storage specialists can use SRA’s information to obtain an insight
into the customer’s storage estate and identify opportunities for storage
modernisation. SRA’s dashboards and reports can be exported to Excel, PDF and other standard formats for inclusion in proposals to customers.

The analysis tool is suited to the analysis of 50TB+
datacentres, and compared to traditional SRM
tools, it is not disruptive, does not require the client to release any password
or security access, and offers results which can then be analyzed
for the composition of detailed documentation.

Peter White, operations director at Storage Fusion, says: "We’ve chosen to partner with Malleus as a
strategic distributor due to Hammer’s extensive storage expertise and over 20
years of dedication to the sector. The Storage Resource Analysis service will
increase customers’ competitiveness when offering professional services out to end
users."

He continues: "Malleus
has a unique, innovative approach to providing professional services to the
channel, and we look forward to working together to extend the reach of Storage
Fusion’s SRA tool to Malleus’s customers, and to simplify the process of
executing storage health checks."

Paul Hickingbotham, technical director of Malleus, says: "We are thrilled to be able to offer a full
Health Check and Storage Assessment service to Hammer’s resellers wishing to
leverage our expertise and resources, whilst at the same time enabling Hammer’s
channel partners with in-house consultancy capabilities to offer the SRA
service to their own customers themselves. It quickly and accurately provides
account intelligence and helps identify opportunities for future storage and
professional services sales."
