Tiered Storage
Tiered storage segments data based on its varying business value. It provides an architecture that allows you to better manage your storage environment. It simplifies data management, lowers storage costs and helps control operational expenses though the simple process of matching service-level needs of business applications to the attributes of the storage system. A tiered storage model gives you the power to create storage categories based on specific attributes such as:
Corporate Technologies storage consultants help manage the complexities of data management through the design and implementation of a solid tiered storage solution.

By optimizing the way data is stored, managed and protected, we give IT managers the flexibility to place infrequent and non-critical data on lower cost storage devices.

Implementing Tiered Storage The goal of our tiered storage offering is to help you match your data's value to the right tier; placing your mission-critical and more valuable data on the faster and more reliable storage. Then, moving older, less valuable and seldom accessed data to slower and less expensive storage.
Our consultants work with you to define the tactical and strategic plans around your current storage and business continuity requirements to help you design the best tiered storage solution for infrastructure and business requirement.
Tiered Storage Designations
Tier 1 Storage Tier 1 is used for the most critical and important 24 x 7 databases such as email, file servers, data warehouse and datamarts. Tier 1 storage is optimal for high performance, high availability data because it delivers the quickest response time and fastest data transfer rates.
Tier 2 Storage Tier 2 is used to place infrequent and non-essential database that can be stored on less costly median in storage area networks (SAN). This tier gives you a storage solution for large amounts of data that isn't mission-critical and doesn't require high availability or frequent backups.
Tier 3 is used to
store data that is almost never accessed and because tier 3 allows for
the storage of data on much less expensive media it is an inexpensive
way for you to collect, protect, preserve and store large volumes of
non-essential and historical data.
