Decrease data storage costs and increase accessibility

Escalating data growth and complex technology infrastructures are familiar challenges for today's businesses. As organisations grow, so does the amount of data stored on networks for access locally and via the internet.

Stott + Hoare can help you plan for and implement the latest technology solutions that can dramatically decrease your long-term data storage and management costs, improve hardware utilisation, and reduce operational support and energy costs.

Our engineers, in conjunction with leading-edge partners such as IBM, HP, HDS, VMware, EMC and NetApp, can design, install and maintain network storage technology from direct attached storage solutions through to the fully redundant and scalable Storage Area Networks.

A Stott + Hoare Storage Consolidation solution is a highly effective way to meet your need for redundant, high-capacity data storage, scalability and fast, reliable access.

By providing a combined Storage Consolidation and Virtualisation solution, Stott + Hoare can deliver significant additional benefits, including increased hardware utilisation and a reduction in physical servers and associated hardware. These benefits can reduce your costs in future hardware acquisition, energy, and IT staffing and administration.

As well as saving these costs to your business, a Consolidation and Virtualisation solution can deliver an IT environment with greater capacity, flexibility and security in much less physical space than other data storage alternatives.
