As consultants in an increasingly transactional business world, we are challenged to guide our clients to balanced, predictable and profitable outcomes. Today’s data centers are bombarded with a myriad of potential solutions, but unfortunately, most are the same unilateral approach of simply adding capacity to manage data growth, which often magnifies the problem—even while temporarily relieving the symptoms.

Spectrum Systems’ Data Center Solutions and Services uses business methods to solve business problems arising from the explosion of data and information management. Created from industry best practices and more than 50 years of combined experience in data management, our methodology helps organizations realize the potential financial savings within their data management strategy. Our approach is simple: we start with the basics by leveraging an array of methods and applying sound economic principles and best-in-class technologies.

Spectrum Systems understands that one solution does not always fit all situations, and migration of a sub-optimal program to a “best practices” must be tailored to your specific circumstances. We assess individual business needs to build a tailored data management plan. We assess your specific environment to uncover unexpected sources of cost-driven and performance pain. Perhaps your existing equipment is working fine, but software licensing and support fees are out of control. Maybe the data structures themselves are the source of concern. Perhaps finding skilled and affordable administrators is a challenge, or the data management architecture itself is not economically viable. We help you find creative ways to maximize the financial potential and impact of your IT infrastructure investment.

Data must be managed throughout its life cycle. Key business drivers range from data center consolidation, green initiatives, archiving, and regulatory compliance mandates, search solutions, data mobility, high availability, and disaster recovery. Each driver and its impact must be addressed when considering more capacity or new systems. Simply adding capacity without a plan or total cost of ownership consideration is like throwing money out the window.
