Unified Storage
 

Many companies address ever expanding data growth in a reactive manner by adding capacity directly to servers which creates captive, difficult to manage storage that is often underutilized. Sovereign Systems partners with the leading storage manufacturers to deliver only best-of-breed solutions for our customers. Consolidation with a unified storage platform has many advantages, including:

 
Lower Cost of Ownership: According to independent analysts, consolidated storage is 55%-60% less expensive to manage than comparable direct-attached environments.
Simplified Storage Management: Centrally-managed storage features streamlined hardware design, intuitive management capabilities and easy-to-use tools for advanced functionality.
Improved Backup & Recovery: Consolidated storage can shrink backup windows and the amount of tape media by 50%-75%.
Enhanced Data Protection: Consolidated storage systems feature complete backup, restore, and replication capabilities – for built-in high availability and information protection of your critical applications.
Server Consolidation: File based unified storage solutions (NAS) can eliminate the need for dedicated file and print servers altogether, significantly reducing costs and administration overhead.
Business Continuity: With centralized storage, you can now replicate critical data off-site easily and cost effectively.

Information Protection
 

The balance between protecting company data has never been more important as it is today; the issue remains the challenge in doing so. Exponential growth of information is challenging traditional backup and recovery methodologies. Explosive information growth, coupled with elevated data availability requirements driven by the global economy, create business service level agreements that are next to impossible to meet with the traditional approaches.

Sound like a challenge? Sovereign Systems offers an innovative design approach, backed by years of proven execution. We combine this with the most advanced information life cycle management offerings available in the market today. We focus on architecting a comprehensive in-data center protection strategy that evaluates your true business drivers from information RTO (recovery time objective) and RPO (recovery point objective). Disk based backup/recovery technologies such as VTL (virtual tape library), data de-duplication, and continuous data protection are leveraged along with a strong focus on application level integration with Oracle, SQL Server and Exchange.

Data Availability
 
Businesses today are being driven to provide increased levels of information availability.  The requirement to satisfy 99.999% of availability is no longer an exception, it is the norm.  Sovereign Systems helps companies evaluate their true data availability needs from a business and application perspective. We then translate those needs into seamless high availability architectures.   Integrating innovative technologies such as server virtualization (VM Ware), unified storage, and application functionality allows Sovereign to reduce infrastructure costs while increasing server, storage, and application availability.   Doing more with less actually becomes a reality.

Virtualization
 

Virtualization is the process of introducing a layer of abstraction to technology that enables more efficient use of hardware resources. This results in easier management, superior scalability and ultimately higher availability. Sovereign Systems applies virtualization best practices at both the server and storage level.

Server virtualization with industry leader VMware allows companies to abstract a servers operating system from the physical hardware. The benefits are listed below.

 
Server consolidation allows more efficient use of hardware assets.
Reduced infrastructure TCO (server, storage).
Disaster recovery (heterogeneous hardware).
Inexpensive, simple, high availability (Vmotion HA, DRS).
Simplified provisioning.
Multiple operating systems on same server.
 

Virtualization can also be applied to the storage technologies. Storage virtualization provides the ability to present and manage storage from multiple vendors as one consolidated pool of storage.

Sovereign Systems can help design and integrate both server and storage virtualization technologies into an overall information management framework.

Application Integration
 

A truly valuable solutions provider needs to understand more than just hardware. Understanding application functionality and more importantly application integration into the infrastructure layer is critical for deploying solutions that solve business problems.

Sovereign Systems has deep infrastructure integration expertise in enterprise applications such as Oracle, Exchange, and SQL Server. Understanding a company’s entire technology stack from the application layer thru the physical hardware is our specialty and serves as our key differentiator. We design application requirements and functionality into our solutions from the very beginning. Areas of specialization include:

 
Expertise in the infrastructure design and deployment of Oracle and Microsoft technologies including database and application server suites.
Oracle E-Business Suite architecture design, sizing, tuning, and platform migration.
Infrastructure design and optimization with Oracle, SQL Server, and Exchange.

Information Security
 

Today, companies are being compelled to react to increasing data security and compliance requirements. Meeting these requirements becomes even more of a challenge given the regulations are constantly changing and typically getting more rigorous. Sovereign Systems, with our partners RSA and Symantec, helps customers craft solutions around challenges in the areas of data archiving, E-discovery, encryption, and backup/recovery:

 
Build an inherently secure information infrastructure.
Protect critical data—structured and unstructured—wherever it resides.
Collect, correlate, analyze, and manage security-audit data.
Enable remote users to work securely with corporate resources—anywhere, anytime.
Open internal web systems, applications to trusted users and partners.
Enable simple, secure enterprise authentication and authorization.
Protect customers' online identities, prevent fraud, and monitor transaction integrity.
