2021 is
going to be a key year for many businesses attempting to recover from the
tremendous impact COVID-19, political shifts and more had last year.
I don’t think many of us will
look back on 2020 fondly and hopefully humanity can rise up and work together
to get us back to normality.... or even better than before.
One of the key realisations of
2020 was that businesses that quickly shift to accommodate unexpected changes
can continue to operate and even excel despite the unexpected and often
challenging circumstances.
A lot of organisations had previously feared a negative productivity impact if most,
or all of their employees worked from home, and had therefore never tried it. However,
for most organisations this shift proved to be a success, with employees not
spending unnecessary time, money and energy travelling. This has often resulted
in employees having more time to focus in the comfort of their own home and for
many a better work/life balance.
I still do miss a trip out at
the moment though just for the comradery, face-to-face interaction and
knowledge sharing.
Looking back on 2020, we had a
very successful year here at Catalogic. One of the key reasons for this success
is that we have the ability to quickly pivot and work in an agile manner, meaning
we discuss customers’ requirements and develop solutions to deliver against them
– solutions which are often specific and complex.
A key talking point many customers
came to us with in 2020 was around how we can improve data visibility,
management and orchestration.
Sound interesting? Let me talk
to you about how we can enable you to have visibility in your environment via
Catalogic ECX.
In every active environment
data continues to grow. Data growth often causes a major data headache for IT
administrators. The reason for this is growth results in more and more
information and often it gets to a point where understanding what data sits
where is a nearly impossible task.
Step forward Catalogic ECX.
With Catalogic ECX we can provide
data visibility, management control and orchestration of NetApp, IBM Storage,
Pure Storage, HPE Nimble, VMware vSphere, Microsoft SQL, Oracle, SAP HANA and
InterSystems Caché environments.
Because we inventorise all key
data within these types of storage, hypervisors, virtual machines, physical
servers and databases we can provide the ability for IT administrators to better
navigate their environment. Think of it like a Sat-Nav that tells us where we would
like to go (ECX tells us what resources you want to see to show the associated
applications, servers and storage)
*Yes that is
my sat nav!!
