Northern Storage Suite

Storage Resource Management

Northern Storage Suite (NSS) is a business solution that organizes your company’s storage resources, administrates the available space on servers and monitors the saving of every file format.

What is the business value?

    - It is expensive and inefficient to make decisions about storage without information. Don’t manage mission critical data in the dark.
    - Investments in network development should not be based on snap-shots and presumptions. A clear picture of the future guarantees intelligent strategy and maximized returns.
    - Controlled access to storage resources always leads to controlled costs. Controlling quantity is important to minimize running costs.
    - Controlling content is vital to prevent legal costs. Don’t spend time and money storing illegal files.
    - Only users can determine which of their files must be saved and which could be deleted – only they can pinpoint the valuable data and the wasted capacity.
    - Administration, not hardware, is the real cost of storage resources. Every time you cut on administrator involvement and automate a task you take a step towards true efficiency.
    - Excessive storage use stems from poor awareness of the costs involved.
