Tandem Installation of Storwize V7000 &Tivoli Endpoint Security Optimizes Server Function

It can be a bleak day for the CIO, CFO, or both, when he or she realizes that the business’s servers are getting beyond their capacity, and must soon be replaced. Judicious selection of IT appliances may solve the outgrown server problem at far less cost to the company, while still allowing the company to grow its data storage capacity, maintain or restore computer speed of function, and adopt improved security measures.

The biggest IT developments for 2011 and 2012 are looking to be security related. On the one hand, IT security threats to average and ordinary businesses are increasing, as hackers become more numerous and prolific, and as the amounts of electronic data available increases. On the other hand, the surging business demand for security products has brought a lot of new security programs and devices onto the market, at more and more competitive prices.

Many security solutions are installed onto or integrated with the company’s servers, and consequently consume a certain amount of server capacity. Tivoli, however, is an endpoint security device, not requiring server reconfiguration. It can cost as little as $39 or $40 per endpoint which makes it easily scalable if a company anticipates changes in its number of devices or users over time. Also, when at some point a server must be upgraded, the Tivoli security can stay in place through the server transition.

Another way to delay the evil day when the costs of new servers must be faced is to install the appliance called Storwize V7000 between the server and the end users. Storwize V7000 compresses data in real time, right as it is entered. At a minimum, Storwize can be expected to half the amount of storage space required for uncompressed data, and some companies have seen it decrease the storage used to between one quarter and one fifth of the storage capacity used to store their data. This has the functional effect of doubling or quadrupling the servers’ storage capacity, for much less than the cost of a new server.

Tandem installation of a security system and a data compression appliance is advised because the more data your business has stored in a single unified or interconnected IT system, the more vulnerable your business is to hacking and IT intrusion. Depending upon the nature of your business, the legal notification requirements regarding whom a business must inform, and how a business must inform them, regarding a data breach that might have exposed customers or business partners’ credit card numbers, bank account numbers, or other personal or financial information, can be costly and embarrassing.

If your company is hoping to continue to use older servers, while adopting up to date IT security and electronic record keeping, the tandem installation of a data compression appliance such as Storewize V7000, and end point security such as Tivoli storage manager, is a cost effective, prudent, and efficient solution to explore.
