Interscape Announcing Three Customizable Storage Optimization Services

The new Storage Reclamation Analysis, Right Tiering Analysis and Right Sizing Analysis from Interscape Technologies, Inc. will be delivered using its 3T approach: Tool (Perfonics) + Tech (SME) + Team (R&D).

This SME front-ended service provides detailed actionable recommendations based on analytics around current storage infrastructure.

These storage optimization services are targeted for end-user enterprises, service providers and resellers.

The 3T/Perfonics based Service also provides in-depth storage analytics and recommendations to customers on best fit RAID levels, disk technologies (SSD, FC, SATA), pool sizes and automated tiering policies based on current performance profiles requirements. It also looks at thin-pool over-subscription management based on percentage allocated vs. percentage actual consumed, which can help in best storage utilizations leading to cost deferment.

“We are very excited to announce these three key storage array optimization services. These services are an extension of what we have been doing in the storage performance and capacity planning arena for a long time. These services ensures cost optimized performance profiling and right sizing recommendations at a fraction of the cost of what it would cost to have a onsite resources,” said Alok Jain, founder and CEO, Interscapes. “This new service help match current IO profiles to a cost optimized solution.”

These new Storage Array Optimization services are part of Perfonics based service offerings called Performance As A Service (PAAS). It is a cloud-based offering focused on providing performance analysis, capacity planning, performance troubleshooting, consolidation modeling, migration planning, capacity planning, trending and forecasting for multi-vendor SAN and NAS storage infrastructures. Perfonics can analyze small to large multi-vendor, multi-petabyte storage infrastructures quickly by ingesting the raw storage related data in automated fashion. An option to have a local instance of Perfonics is also available.

PAAS approach is implemented using the Interscape methodology based on a tool called Perfonics. This methodology provides a hands-off model; there is no software, agents or appliance needed to be installed and no additional specialized skill-sets are needed by customer. Customers provides the OEM tools data already collected in their environment or run native storage and server commands/scripts. Once the collected data is uploaded on to secured Interscape cloud, analytic reports are generated and provided via reporting dash board. Customers can take advantage of the ‘expert inclusive’ services to get a deeper understanding of the issues that will help them decide on the corrective actions.
