Secure-24 Adds SSDs to Cloud Data Centers

Secure-24, LLC invested in the new flash storage architecture and has implemented it across its cloud data centers in Michigan and Nevada.

The company can now offer its clients the balance between high-performance and cost effective storage options.

Flash storage is for customers running heavy workloas on mission critical applications incuding 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 perfomance 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.

Among the early adopters of Secure-24’s new service is Multiquip, Inc., a Carson, CA-based manufacturer and supplier of industrial products and solutions.

“Secure-24 saved us a tremendous amount of engineering hours by researching, planning and delivering our IT environments on next generation flash storage infrastructure,” said Michael Hanken, VP of IT, Multiquip. “First tests showed that the speed and performance of Secure-24’s flash solution will save us significant time on all of our database intense transactions and reports.”

To help businesses assess and migrate to this enhanced flash storage architecture, the company has enhanced its Premier Services group to include cloud transformation services. The group will advise on IT discovery, stabilization and consolidation. It also helps clients undergoing large organizational changes such as a merger, acquisition or divestiture as well as evaluates current IT environments and explores the performance gains companies may receive from flash storage solutions.
