Data Services

At Fortuna Data we provide a complete range of data services from the list below.

New IT Refresh

We can assist in providing a complete data centre refresh including; design (racking, cabling), specifying new equipment, supplying, installing and configuration for your new 21st century data centre.  We worked with a leading UK construction company to provide a complete data centre refresh using 20x 42U racks. Planning took 2 years and we installed and configured everything below in 1 month, including all the network configuration and routing. The design we proposed had no single points of failure and all systems had multiple paths to data and information.

• 5x Fujitsu ETERNUS SAN storage arrays
• Brocade Fibre Channel and Ethernet networks across 3 floors
• 32x Fujitsu PRIMERGY servers

The work involved many discussions with key vendors, including technical visits, training and technical assessments. This was the first time in 15 years that they had not bought HP equipment! To this day the IT manager states “It’s the most reliable equipment we have ever used”. This is a testament to us providing the right solution the first time.

Extended Life of IT Equipment

Many businesses today refresh servers and storage every 3-5 years, even though this equipment is perfectly functional it doesn’t provide the performance required by the latest applications. To extend the life of older IT storage solutions, why not connect it up to a software defined storage solution that accelerates all the read whilst delivering up to 10x the performance of the existing storage and at a fraction of the price of a new data storage solution.

Consolidation of Storage

Data today is the lifeblood of any business. It could be a new product design or the latest website showcasing new products or services. A business will acquire the relevant IT equipment to run these applications and typically involves a new storage solution whereby all software is loaded and shared. As time passes we end up with pools of storage that are difficult to manage due to disparity between the different vendors ways of managing things. We provide a complete range of solutions that could manage all of these disparate storage pools from a single GUI. Alternatively, you might want to move 100TB’s of data to a new storage platform, but the older storage doesn’t directly connect and it could take weeks to move the data across the network.

Consultancy

We provide a complete consultancy service to ensure your projects and time scales are met and on budget. If you are looking for a complete network refresh or require a virtualised infrastructure we can assist with recommendations, design, supply and installation. We have extensive experience on moving data from Microsoft Exchange to Office 365 or migrating data from on-premise to the cloud.

We provide a complete range of technical assessments to determine the root cause of the problem, making recommendations to ensure your IT equipment is running as expected.

Backup Health Check

Having a reliable backup solution in place protects your business from data loss, ransomware, disaster recovery and continuous data availability. Many of today’s backup software packages are highly complex and contain features/functionality that a business may or may not require.
