Servnet From UK Launches Storage Administration Services

Servnet UK Ltd. offers storage administration services provided by highly trained and accredited engineers from the company.

These services manages the process of creating storage pool, virtual volumes, presenting LUNs, and mounting shares along with configuration of related infrastructure such as networking. They also put safety measures in advance to ensure minimal disruption to services due to unplanned issues which occur during storage upgrades.

To ensure that the storage system runs smoothly, and that the data is properly accessible, the process of ‘Storage Health Checks’ is carried by gathering data remotely or on-site. Proper reviewing of the storage processors and switches is done, followed by performance analysis to check the errors and rectify them.

Storage administration is divided in four parts:

• Storage provisioning

• Storage upgrades

• Storage monitoring and support

• Storage health checks

Elaborating on their storage administration services, a representative of the company stated: “We engage with the client to understand their requirements and plan a layout that best utilises their storage capacity. Storage upgrades (including the SAN fabric) include upgrades of storage controllers, storage connectivity, additional capacity, FC or IP switches, additional storage software, OSs and firmware. As part of change control, this requires pre-checks, planning, design and testing, implementation review and documentation. We also provide appropriate recommendations as fixes to known issues. These services apply to Block, file and unified storage arrays and its related components.“
