Integration & implementation services cover various aspects such as data migration planning, proof of concept development, platform setup/configuration, and API integrations. Training, support & maintenance services help to maximize return on investment (ROI) and ensure long-term success; businesses need ongoing assistance in managing and optimizing their cloud-native storage infrastructure. The training, support & maintenance segment addresses this need by providing comprehensive support services such as technical training for IT teams, 24x7 remote monitoring, troubleshooting, resolving issues or bugs, periodic system health checks/audits, software patches/updates rollouts, and security threat management.
The solutions segment comprises a variety of products that cater to different organization sizes, industries, and use cases. Primary types include object-based storage systems, file-based storage systems, and block-based storage systems. Block storage operates by dividing data into fixed-sized blocks, which are stored separately with unique identifiers. This approach offers several benefits, including high performance, low latency, and granular control over data manipulation. Enterprises often implement block storage for applications requiring high throughput and low-latency operations, such as databases and virtual machines. File storage offers a simple and familiar way of managing files while providing features such as access control lists (ACLs) and metadata management. File storage services are typically used for file-based applications such as content management systems (CMS), big-data analytics platforms, backup systems, and file sharing applications that require multi-instance read-and-write capabilities. Object storage serves as a highly scalable solution designed for storing unstructured data such as images, videos, and documents in large-scale environments at petabyte levels or beyond.
