Storage Guardian Slashes Data Center Footprint by 80% in Green IT Push
Canadian Managed Service Provider (MSP), Storage Guardian, has significantly reduced its data center footprint and enhanced its service offerings through a strategic infrastructure consolidation. The company, specializing in secure and efficient backup and storage solutions, has made sustainability a key focus in its IT decisions.
Storage Guardian, known for its cost-effective and secure backup solutions, has successfully addressed concerns about traditional object-based storage by consolidating its infrastructure. This move, driven by the need to meet government power consumption guidelines and encourage energy efficiency, has seen the company reduce its data center footprint from nine cabinets to just two. This dramatic reduction, achieved through a partnership with StorONE, has not only cut power consumption but also gained flexibility and improved performance, enabling the company to grow its services.
The consolidation, which reduced the physical storage footprint by 80 percent, was facilitated by Storage Guardian's combination of software-defined storage platforms. This allowed the company to expand its range of services, including managed backup, disaster recovery, and cyber resilience, while maintaining high-speed, stable, and secure infrastructure. Storage Guardian leverages technologies like Veeam, immutable storage, and automation workflows to protect critical workloads against ransomware, hardware failures, and human error. The partnership with StorONE began when Storage Guardian sought solutions to minimize its footprint without compromising availability and providing a return on investment.
Storage Guardian's infrastructure consolidation has not only led to significant energy savings and a reduced environmental impact but also expanded its service offerings. The company continues to prioritize sustainability in its IT decisions, a factor increasingly important to its clients. By combining its expertise with strategic partnerships, Storage Guardian has successfully enhanced its backup and storage solutions while minimizing its data center footprint.
