SOUTHFIELD – An advanced flash storage cloud environment enabling companies to process heavy workloads at faster speeds was introduced this week by Secure-24, a provider of application hosting and managed cloud services.
Secure-24 has invested heavily in the new flash storage architecture and has implemented it across its cloud data centers in Michigan and Nevada. Flash storage is particularly ideal for customers running heavy workloads on mission critical applications including SAP, Oracle and custom enterprise applications.
It will help eliminate storage based performance issues allowing companies to accelerate their business by alleviating long process run-times for reporting and reducing the need for costly performance tuning and troubleshooting. It also has advanced security features that encrypt data at rest to help provide maximum security without sacrificing performance.
“There’s an increasing demand to store large quantities of data ? and make it easily accessible at a moment’s notice,” said Scott McIsaac, CTO, Secure-24. “Our IT transformation expert team, armed with a suite of enterprise diagnostics and rapid assessment methodology, can provide detailed guidance in helping organizations achieve IT stabilization, consolidation and optimization for core applications and infrastructure.”
Secure-24’s flash storage solutions have been benchmarked at increasing performance up to ten-fold while remaining cost-competitive with its existing storage solutions. Clients will have the option of adopting a flash storage solution or a capacity-based storage solution. The two-tier approach allows clients to migrate heavy workloads to flash, while continuing to run lower performance applications on a lower cost storage solution.
