Data Storage & Backup/Recovery Solutions:

Arkoi offers a complete range of business continuity and data backup, recovery solutions to meet the growing demands of your business. The loss of data can be a catastrophic event for businesses. Arkoi’s objective is to protect our customer’s data before anything happens. We offer software and hardware solutions to secure reliable local and remote, backup/recovery solutions.

Assessment:
Proper assessment of data is a critical step in the storage infrastructure design process. Success or failure of the entire project is strongly influenced by this selection. Akroi can provide detailed analyses and data collection reporting results, to ensure the best solution recommendations and compatibility for acceptance into the existing infrastructure. Arkoi gives careful consideration to Service Level Agreements (SLA), Recovery Time Objectives (RTO), Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) and future growth. Applications are evaluated for these and other characteristics such as performance, capacity, operating system, access protocols, backup/restore, network requirements, power, and “best value” solutions are then recommended. Arkoi knows that performing proper detailed assessment is critical to successful architected storage solutions.

Evaluation:
Arkoi’s engineering team collectively evaluates assessment data and custom design recommended solutions.  Arkoi solution recommendations are based on assessment report data, current environment, future goals and projects (i.e. Continuity of Operations (COOP) / Disaster Recover (DR)), data migration, SLAs, RTO, RPO, and our Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analysis based on servers, applications, network, storage and backup/recovery needs.

 

Arkoi acts in the capacity of a trusted advisor.  Our allegiance is always to the customer and what is the best solution to meet the needs of and how to best support the end users.  Arkoi has a strong focus in data management and protection.

Implementation and Integration:
Arkoi engineering team is well versed in storage architecture design and implementation.  Arkoi’s experience in heterogeneous storage environments and strong project management will ensure proper design and timely implementation of projects, alleviating any concerns of a non-operational solution or project that veers off schedule.

 

Data Protection:

Protection of Data or Data-Security

Solutions in this category revolve around the question of how well data in the organization, whether in motion or at rest, are protected against intentional (or unintentional) compromise of its existence and integrity. Even though some protection solutions transcend both, they typically can be classified into two subcategories: preventative and restorative.

  • Preventative solutions are typically designed around keeping the original data (set) intact and are proactive in nature whereas restorative solutions are considered to be reactive. Solutions in this category typically revolve around encryption, access control, early detection and redundancy.
  • Restorative solutions repair the data (set) after compromise has occurred. These solutions have as goal to reduce the amount of time to get back to a steady state as if nothing had happened to the data. In other words, minimize time to recover (RTO) to a state or point (RPO) as close as possible to when the compromise occurred, and typically involve keeping and bringing back online non-compromised (golden) copies of the data-set.

Presence of Data or Data-Availability

This variable revolves around the question of when the data in the organization is available to the people, processes or applications that require it. In other words: the timing or timeliness of data. Typical solutions focus on High Availability and redundancy like Clustering, Fail-over, etc.

Arkoi considers the aforementioned categories to be the main ingredients of any effective data availability strategy. They are essentially management tools that, individually and combined, define the overall success of managing data in your organization. The end result is to deploy a strategy that supports all other functions and (core) processes in the organization effectively and efficiently; all within the restrictions imposed by Organizational, Industry and Governmental compliance.

Arkoi’s consulting services provide strategic and executive recommendations to aid in the planning and design of an optimal data storage infrastructure within an organization’s IT requirements.
