Government
Increasingly, state and federal agencies are expected to find new and improved ways to maximize resources while managing exponential data growth. Adding to that responsibility, taxpayers, Congress and the world demand solutions that have the least impact on the environment.
LeftHand Networks brings a new approach to solving many of government’s most difficult data challenges. LeftHand has specialized teams of sales and engineering professionals who have worked with intelligence, military and civilian agencies for much of their careers. Together, we can provide your agency with answers to today’s most pressing storage issues.
Virtualization
Virtualization gives federal and state IT managers new options for delivering services to their customers. Government agencies recognize the positive impact virtualization technology can have, and are exploring ways to make it work from the data center to the desktop, for applications and operating systems.
The vision of data living on the network, being accessed over the network and made mobile across networks has led LeftHand to architect unique, truly clustered, open iSCSI SANs ideal for virtualization solutions.
HA/COOP
A well designed DR Plan establishes a rapid response process, and ensures that data will remain online in an emergency situation. At the federal level, two new Federal Continuity Directives – FCD 1 & 2 – are aimed at putting policy (HDPD-20, NSPD-1 and FPC 85) into play, and give agencies the responsibility and authority to develop actionable COOP (Continuity of Operations Planning) now.
LeftHand offers simple and affordable HA/COOP storage solutions for your agency’s virtual infrastructure. Our experts can demonstrate how a LeftHand SAN can help you keep your data continually available.
Green IT
The data center has become one of the first opportunities for agencies to reduce costs and save energy. The FCW Priority Report outlines the value of virtualized servers and storage in the government sector, stating that “virtualization can help an agency cut energy costs in half, double your space efficiency and increase server utilization levels to as high as 85%”.
Agencies looking for additional ways to conserve are discovering the energy efficiency inherent in LeftHand SAN technologies, which help organizations of all sizes do more with increasingly constrained budgets.
