Why Managed Storage?:

 With all these challenges, companies are turning to a managed storage provider to address these issues. Offloading mission-critical data helps meet your changing needs with a flexible and reliable managed data warehouse.

If you're wondering, “Why would you look for a Managed Storage Services?”, Here are a few reasons LightEdge has learned from our customers.

Superior performance

High-performance managed storage is designed to move large amounts of data across the network. This is especially valuable when moving large amounts of complex data across the network. Whether you have multiple offices or branch offices, high-performance managed storage is critical to the day-to-day running of your business.

One second can make a huge difference between a successful transaction and very poor communication. Akamai's 2017 research shows that every 100 milliseconds of website load delays can impact conversion rates by seven percent. Delay is no longer an option.

In addition to dropping customer sales, inefficient managed storage can also cause surprising reductions in employee productivity. CSO Online reported that network outages can cost businesses an average of 71 hours of lost productivity per employee per year. For a company of 50 people, this would be $ 144,563 per year.

Factors that can hinder a high-performance network and managed storage are lack of access to fiber networks, high-latency access technologies like DSL, and distance between users and content due to overly centralized peering between carriers. ...

Reliability

Forget downtime. Find a managed storage provider that is fault tolerant by design and provides over 99.9% availability. To process, store and analyze large amounts of data, your operations require a highly reliable and ultra-fast IT infrastructure. LightEdge storage is up to the challenge.

Even in this age of cloud computing, almost everywhere you need to securely store data in place. As businesses and individuals store more and more important information on storage devices, the need to be able to retrieve it quickly in the same format it was saved in is more pressing than ever.

Scalability and flexibility

The managed storage service provider supports the organization's growth strategy. If a high degree of storage is required, it will be readily available and cost effective. The Managed Storage Service scales with your business and provides the flexibility to grow and expand or shrink as needed.

Businesses can free employees from routine tasks by choosing a managed storage approach and making a purchase. This means that free resources can be directed towards the core activities of your organization and the achievement of company goals. You can start small and grow to a sophisticated business level.

The status quo has always been about placing data and systems within a company, allowing IT staff to reinvent the wheel in a 3-5 year equipment lifecycle. Inevitably, rebuilding your environment is painful, takes longer, and usually costs more than originally planned. In this sense, the elasticity and flexibility that managed storage offers might seem like an excellent solution to the risks that internal staff are exposed to when building their own IT infrastructure.

Safety

Managed storage services and supported operating processes pave the way for improved reliability and quality of storage management. This helps minimize risk and maximize security, which is especially important given the overall privacy of customer data and the critical importance of protecting confidential business information.
