Object Based Storage

GNT Data Centre’s Object Storage is a cost-effective and highly secure alternative to Public Cloud storage that guarantees data sovereignty. It allows data to be managed as objects in a single storage pool where every object exists at the same level. Since it’s not dependent on a centralised server, Object Storage overcomes the challenges of conventional block-based storage and is ideal for Cloud and distributed computing systems.

Our technology partner Cleversafe takes the advantages of object storage even further. The technology is able to ‘slice and dice’ data, running it concurrently in multiple data centre locations to provide up to ‘ten nines’ of availability. This self-healing technology offers unprecedented flexibility, infinite capacity and limitless scalability – slashing costs by reducing the need for duplication, and freeing you from the straitjacket that traditional data storage has become.

G-Cloud Storage

Government Cloud Computing (G-Cloud), aims to simplify how public sector agencies buy and deliver services. GNT Data Centre's Cloud services are secure by design and enable you to realise all of the benefits of G-Cloud without the risk associated with public and community Clouds. We give you solid guarantees on location, security and availability of your data, and have teams of experienced consultants, solution architects and project managers to ensure you make the right decisions at every stage.

Archiving

The costs associated with storing vast amounts of data are one of the largest budget line items for IT departments. By moving data that is accessed rarely onto a more cost effective archive storage environment, you can make substantial savings by freeing space on expensive near line storage platforms and reducing the requirement for capital expenditure.

Data Analysis

GNT Data Centre uses data analysis to drive down the costs associated with data storage. Our Data Analysis and Reporting Service provides you with clear visibility of the types and use of your data, with a report that profiles storage by usage patterns, data types and volumes. The report also presents a cost benefit analysis and provides recommendations on how and where savings can be achieved.
