We understand how to architect the best solution to fit your specific environment.

Simplifying a storage architecture is a daunting task. Companies have seen demand for storage increase dramatically as they struggle to keep up with the latest hardware, software and services options to meet their needs. Integrating and simplifying your environment may seem like a job that will never see the light of day.
Summit Technology helps by assessing your current environment, creating a long-term roadmap for simplification, and outlining the phases that you can take to attain your objectives. Within storage simplification, we focus on products and best practices such as:

• Data classification
• Storage consolidation
• Storage virtualization
• Storage management

The proliferation of data within a company leads to many challenges, especially since this information is not in a single protected and secure database -- it's just about anywhere including e-mail communications, image files, faxes, and personal and departmental database files. Protecting these assets is a growing challenge being driven not only by corporate needs but also by compliance regulations. Summit Technology protects your storage environment by focusing on:

• Disaster recovery
• Backup and recovery
• Tape strategies
• Regulatory compliance
• Data encryption

The proliferation of data also puts additional burden on IT teams to manage it effectively across the enterprise. Using a combination of high-productivity management tools—including professional services, hardware appliances, and software that can be integrated with your application, desktop, server and storage environments -- Summit can help you manage data in a context that is more meaningful to you, without requiring special storage management skills. Our data management solutions focus on:

• Software management tools
• E-mail management and archiving
• Content management
