We provide a broad range of storage solutions to simplify, protect and optimize your IT environment. The Atria Approach:

Assessing your information lifecycle management needs
Atria’s comprehensive information lifecycle management assessments provide an in-depth analysis of your data and storage infrastructure, including an evaluation of availability, storage capacity, file usage, networking options, back up and data recovery and email compliance.

Consultation and Assessment
Keeping pace with the ever growing need to manage and define your data and comply with legal requirements challenges your resources and reduces profits. Our data and storage consultation and assessment services will identify problems with your current storage investment, and help you implement a cost-effective, legally compliant solution.

Our six-step assessment process

1. We begin the assessment process with a meeting to define your project’s objectives, scope and key milestones.
2. We then prepare a detailed statement of work that documents the engagement’s schedule and deliverables.
3. On-site work begins with interviews of your IT staff and key business units. This helps us gain an insight into your business requirements, application functions and the critical key systems and data. We gather quantitative data utilizing our storage resource management (SRM) application for a detailed view of your data and storage infrastructure. From this data, we map business processes and applications to underlying systems and storage.
4. Once the on-site processing is complete, we analyze the data and compare it your industry and our own recommended best practices.
5. We then prepare a storage assessment findings document, which includes our key findings from the data gathering process, a gap analysis of your current and desired storage environment, and recommendations for improvement.
6. We conclude by presenting our findings to your company’s decision-makers.

Our storage management assessments include comprehensive analysis of:

• Storage capacity: volume detail, capacity utilization, capacity growth (Trending), and critical systems.
• File usage: duplicate files, unwanted files (TMP, mp3, gif, bak, etc.), large files, modified files, file creation,
  file ownership.
• Email Compliance: regulatory requirements and risk factors

Every business has its own unique storage and data issues. And because one size doesn’t fit all we work closely with you to develop solutions that will help you effectively classify and manage your data, improve your productivity, and meet the challenges of regulatory compliance.
