Data Lifecycle Management is a proactive and dynamic strategy. MTI recognise that DLM helps companies plan for IT growth as it relates to the business needs and reflects the value associated with the information held by a company. A DLM strategy must be:
-
Linked to key business processes, applications & initiatives
-
Based on enterprise-wide information management policies that span all processes, applications & resources
-
Centrally managed and provide integrated view of all information assets of the business for both structured & unstructured data
-
Heterogeneous and encompass all platforms & systems
-
Match storage & infrastructure resources to the value of data at any given point in time
Data Lifecycle Management Practice
MTI’s DLM practice provides customers with an information strategy that is driven by business requirements, meets the needs of users and their applications, creates meaningful Service Level Agreements (SLA) for data by business needs, application criticality, Data type, age of the data, access time requirements and business continuity requirements. This strategy maximises the value and reduces overall total costs of ownership. This practice focuses on:
-
Business needs and infrastructure assessments
-
Data classification & policy implementation
-
Tiered storage implementation
-
Model infrastructure architecture
-
Integration, consolidation and migration
-
Information protection and security
-
Storage and infrastructure management optimisation
-
Implement automated storage management
-
Monitoring and review of policies
Customer Business Needs & Issues
Companies constantly struggle to manage the sheer size and scale of their data assets both internally and externally with their partners, suppliers and most importantly customers. Businesses are always trying to improve business processes and release the value tied up in the data that lies within their organisations. To do this companies need to create an organisational strategy to rationalise their business processes that use and create company data. Then make it available in the correct form, in the right place and at the right time. Doing this will start to reduce cost and deliver business optimisation, through savings in time, infrastructure and resources. The process will also deliver the following additional benefits:
-
Service improvement to the business
-
Business risk and associated impacts managed
-
Better granularity of service levels
-
Increased understanding of business needs
-
More appropriate use of storage
-
Flexibility, scalability and agility improvements
-
Development of a strategic data use roadmap
-
Audit & compliance procedures
-
Increasing ROI
-
Reduced costs & lower TCO
-
Improved data access & availability
-
Clean technology (green) implementations
