Store Service Class
The advantage of a hosted storage solution is that customers simply lease an ongoing service tailored to their requirements that they can also modify as needed instead of buying a monolithic system that's hard to change. Also, networked storage has become so advanced that only organizations with the deepest IT resources and personnel with specialized expertise can master an in-house solution. IMC customers don't need to hire in-house storage experts, buy expensive equipment and infrastructure and perform ongoing maintenance and troubleshooting.
We offer storage solutions typically as a component of a hosted service comprised of a hosted application, a broadband network that gives the customer remote access to the application, and electronic storage. The nature of the value-added solution determines cost, but we can also provide hosted storage alone usually for a fee determined by the broadband network we provision for you to link to our broadband VPN and estimated storage capacity required on a per-gigabyte basis.
We offer electronic storage on industry-leading Storage Area Networks, Network Attached Storage, Tape Arrays and portable lower-cost devices such as ATA (Advanced Technology Attachment).
We also offer Continuity of Operations (COOP)/Disaster Recovery Hot and Cold site solutions as well as physical storage of documents on various media.
