Since 1985 TOSS^® has been dedicated to understanding the crucial role that storage plays in every business. A company's personnel used to be its most important asset, but today it is universally accepted that data is a company’s most valuable asset, without which a company ceases to exist. In addition, maintaining a competitive edge in the current global or domestic marketplace requires immediate access to your data when it's needed and the ability to store and protect this data at a cost that is fiscally responsible is imperative.

Versatile storage technologies – not all storage is created equal

Michael Valocchi, global leader for energy and utilities at IBM Global Business Services has been quoted as saying, "The professionals who can effectively understand two or three, or sometimes 10, different core technologies and puts them together in an integrated view are going to be the winners in this new marketplace." TOSS^® employs a team of professionals dedicated to this very goal. TOSS^® knows you are constantly being inundated with information that only one certain storage technology is best for every application that your business runs. It is our business to understand each of the different and often confusing storage technologies and why each should be used on your individual business applications. Our solutions often include multiple storage technologies to create one cohesive, flexible and easily managed architecture.

Open Storage Philosophy

How many times have you been told that a certain storage technology is "open" just to find that it is virtually unusable without purchasing software that renders it proprietary and greatly adds to the initial and future costs of the solution? TOSS^® understands the open storage concept and the reasons why you would want to adopt it. Our philosophy is to introduce open storage into the design of your solution so it may be used with your present and future applications easily and economically. We will discuss storage architecture during our design phase including why our storage is considered open and what the costs will be to upgrade and maintain it in the future. We believe success is achieved by working closely in each phase of the design and implementation.

Performance Tuning

Performance tuning starts at the discovery phase at TOSS^®. A well designed storage architecture is the key to providing a system that will stay within the performance parameters you set for years to come. However, as with all things, there are changes that take place to the applications, systems and demands placed upon you by end users. TOSS'^® team of certified engineers is able to asses exactly why you are incurring the change in performance and implement the appropriate corrective action.

Storage Virtualization

If you are considering virtualising your IT infrastructure, you must think about converting your islands of storage into a SAN to make them easy to manage and to reduce costs. TOSS^® certified engineers bring years of experience in virtualising their own IT environments to our clients. One must fully understand the nuances of virtualization to efficiently design storage to eliminate waste and reduce costs for years to come.

TOSS'^® managed services will reduce these costs and help your IT department be more productive.
