WHY CHOOSE INTECHNOLOGY?cost-effective multi-tierapproach based on data value, not just data volume /
intechnology’s service increases our resource, but we retain control* /
* source / dundas & wilson /
the average enterprise treats all its data as one homogenous mass, invariably using expensive primary and secondary storage. we don’t. in our eyes, today’s transactional data is business-critical, whereas a four year old email is merely a business overhead. why should they be treated the same way and stored on the same expensive tier 1 storage?
a new approach – designed to put organisations back in control of their data, budgets and strategic ambitions – lies in the adoption of managed data services. in keeping with the rest of intechnology’s end-to-end suite of cloud based solutions, these help clients along their convergence journey – delivering both quick wins and long-term value.
exponential data growth, as well as the requirement for long term data retention, is one of today’s major it challenges. traditional technologies struggle to keep pace with storage and data management requirements (that can grow by up to 50% annually), which piles pressure on it budgets like never before. additional challenges such as carbon footprint reduction add to the headache, costing businesses precious time and resources as they focus on back-end infrastructure at the expense of front-end business systems.
ADDRESSING EXPONENTIAL DATA GROWTH /
OUR DATA PROPOSITION /
our services are designed around data value, not volume.by matching the right tier of data with theright service, we canhelp build sustainable, affordable and robust data managementprocesses and policies.

mission-critical data sits at the top of intechnology’s data value hierarchy – tier 1. most businesses will have perhaps 5-10% of data that is so valuable that it must be replicated as it is being created or changed.
we offer a continuous data replication service at a better price than other high-end replication and server clustering alternatives via our high availability national ip network, outstanding data centre facilities and proven storage expertise.
critical data sits in the middle of the data value hierarchy – what we refer to as tier 2 and consisting of between 20-30% of electronic content that’s accessed regularly and is key to operational efficiency. our managed backup service with its automated online backup, secure encryption, de-duplication and instant restore capability, completely eliminates the severe limitations of tape-based backup and sets new standards in terms of cost versus performance.
you can take any of our solutions as a discrete service, but the greatest rewards lie in fully integrated multi-tier data management. this ensures all data is automatically accorded the most appropriate treatment: replicationfor mission-critical data (tier 1); backup for critical data (tier 2); and archiving for legacy data (tier 3).

Virtual server hostingvirtual servers and storage can easily be combined with tier 1 and tier 2 data and offer unlimited capacity on a pay-as-you-go model. our hosted service is based on a managed vmware platform and associated enterprise class storage in our carrier class data centres – monitored 24/365.
Managed replication – Tier 1 mission-critical data
Managed backup – Tier 2 critical data
370% of most corporate data is ‘dormant’ and should therefore sit within the lowest tier of the data hierarchy – tier 3. these are important or legacy files and emails that are rarely accessed but still need to be held securely for regulatory and recovery purposes. the managed archiving service allows users to create dynamic policies that automatically archive emails and files that have not been accessed for a specified period of time.
Drive down spend we’ll help you leverage the economies of scale and competitive commodity pricing of the cloud computing model.
Shift data management costs move from capital expenditure (capex) to operational expenditure (opex), with intechnology’s ‘pay-as-you-use’ utility charging model.
Scale to your requirements tap into unlimited storage capacity...on-demand.
Prevent internal infrastructure issues by moving your data to cutting-edge facilities, you’ll no longer suffer the distractions of infrastructure ownership and admin.
Enjoy high levels of security complete peace of mind from secure enterprise class disaster recovery (dr) at an sme price-point.
Improve performance your primary servers and applications can be optimised by removing unnecessary data burden.
Meet regulatory demands avoid compromising regulatory and data security compliance through enforced culling or capping of directories and mailboxes – copy to the cloud instead.
Shrink your carbon footprint save yourself from exposure to punitive green taxes through reduced energy and materials consumption.
