Enterprise Storage
Information is a strategic asset. And, today’s business requires increasing volumes of information to be stored for analysis and decision-making. How an organization decides to store and protect this information can increase the productivity and effectiveness of the business - or, when done haphazardly, can place the business at significant risk.
To better manage and protect the data critical to the life of your business, PLANIT offers enterprise data storage solutions where we appraises your current systems and offers recommendations around data back up and data recovery, server consolidation, shared user home directories, server based computing, and offsite data storage.

Disaster Recovery
Businesses of all types are increasingly dependent on computers and technology. Whether it is simple back office applications like accounting and purchasing or highly visible customer interactions over the Internet, the need for business computing systems to be up and functional all the time is essential.
Disaster prevention and recovery is a coordinated (and documented) activity to install measures to facilitate a business's continued operation during a natural or man-made disaster. Or, if that operation is interrupted, to facilitate a restoration of normal operation with minimum loss. Depending on the scope of the disaster, your company may need:
- Data disaster recovery
- Data center disaster recovery
- Computer disaster recovery
- Network disaster recovery
- A comprehensive solution that addresses multiple areas
By assessing your current levels of protection and vulnerability, and understanding your business needs and technical capabilities, PLANIT Technology Group designs and implements effective solutions for protecting and restoring your critical information in the event of a disaster.

Systems Management
Managing multiple platforms in a company’s computer system can be complex and challenging but experienced systems management consultants can make a difference. Not only does the operating system require multiple tools for monitoring its operation and performance, but each of the services and applications might itself have a separate reporting and monitoring tool. Even though the people responsible for the operations of these systems, services, and applications may be well versed in the use of their particular tool, the information gathered may not be understood by those outside the group, with no easy way for managers to consolidate and aggregate information needed for problem solving.
PLANIT Technology Group's systems management consultants work to solve this dilemma with the development of a coordinated set of monitoring tools and a common repository for operation and performance monitoring at all levels. We recognize the critical nature of your systems, applications, and services. To help ensure they are available when needed, our Enterprise Systems Management services range from assessing your current deployment to designing and implementing an ESM package to a fully outsourced Managed Service Program (MSP).
