Our Services

End-to-end storage infrastructure support — from one-off migrations to long-term maintenance partnerships.

Service 01

Storage Migration & Installation

Whether you're refreshing aging hardware, moving to All-Flash, or consolidating storage infrastructure — we plan and execute the migration with zero unplanned downtime.

Our methodology covers assessment, planning, non-disruptive data movement, validation, and handover documentation. Every migration comes with a rollback plan.

  • Online LUN Migration

    Live data movement between storage arrays without downtime — using host-based or array-based tools.

  • New System Installation

    Rack integration, cabling, initial configuration, host connectivity, and acceptance testing.

  • SAN Fabric Design & Zoning

    Brocade and Cisco MDS fabric design, zoning configuration, and multi-path validation.

  • NAS Migration

    File system migration with metadata preservation across NetApp, Dell, and HPE NAS platforms.

  • Performance Baseline & Tuning

    Post-migration performance validation and tiering/QoS policy optimization.

  • Full Documentation Handover

    As-built documentation, zoning maps, LUN mapping tables, and runbooks.

Storage Health Assessment

A comprehensive audit of your storage infrastructure — we identify performance bottlenecks, capacity risks, firmware gaps, and cost-saving opportunities.

Delivered as an executive report with a prioritized action plan. Most clients find immediate savings of 15–30% on storage-related spend after an assessment.

  • Capacity Planning Review

    Current utilization, growth forecasting, and expansion recommendations.

  • Performance Analysis

    Latency, IOPS, and throughput baseline with bottleneck identification.

  • Firmware & Configuration Audit

    Gap analysis against vendor best practices and known vulnerability patches.

  • DR & Replication Validation

    RTO/RPO review, replication health, and failover readiness check.

  • Cost Optimization Report

    Contract benchmarking, tiering opportunities, and consolidation recommendations.

DR & Replication Design

Design and implement storage-layer disaster recovery — replication setup, failover testing, and documentation that your DR runbook can actually rely on.

  • Hitachi TrueCopy & Universal Replicator

    Synchronous and asynchronous replication design and implementation.

  • NetApp SnapMirror & MetroCluster

    Volume and SVM-level replication, MetroCluster design for zero-RPO.

  • Dell RecoverPoint & VPLEX

    Continuous data protection and active-active metro clustering.

  • DR Testing & Validation

    Scheduled failover tests with documented RTO/RPO results.

  • Runbook Development

    Step-by-step DR runbooks that your team can execute without vendor support.

DR Design Considerations

RPO Target 0 sec → hours
Recovery Point Objective — how much data you can afford to lose
RTO Target Minutes → hours
Recovery Time Objective — how fast you need to be back up
Distance Metro or remote
Determines sync vs async replication architecture
We help you define these
Before recommending any solution, we align DR design to your actual business requirements.

VMware Infrastructure Services

Storage and virtualisation are inseparable in modern data centres. Vertex Data Systems supports VMware environments end-to-end — from vSphere design and vSAN implementation to storage integration and ongoing VMware AMC.

Our engineers hold VMware expertise alongside storage certifications, so we understand how your storage arrays interact with ESXi hosts, vCenter, and vSAN — not just one side of the stack.

  • vSphere & ESXi Installation

    Fresh deployments, upgrades, and migrations — including VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) readiness.

  • vSAN Design & Deployment

    Hyper-converged storage design, vSAN cluster configuration, stretched cluster, and fault domain planning.

  • External Storage Integration

    VMFS datastore provisioning, NFS mounts, RDM mapping, and VAAI/VASA plugin configuration for Hitachi, Dell, and NetApp arrays.

  • vCenter Migration & Upgrade

    vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) deployments, version upgrades, and cross-vCenter migrations.

  • VMware Health Assessment

    vSphere environment audit — performance, configuration, licensing, and storage integration review.

  • VMware AMC

    Ongoing maintenance for vSphere environments — patch management, capacity monitoring, and incident support.
