Kanatek has been supplying direct attached storage solutions to it clients for some time. Increasingly, it is helping organizations tackle migration challenges.

• Email has become the "de facto" enterprise collaboration tool with accelerating use of attachments
• Consolidating Exchange message data on "unlimited" storage at the server is now a more productive solution than dispersing it to the desktop
• No need for quotas or mailbox limits
• Ability to archive sensitive and valuable data
• Improved performance of exchange databases
• Significantly reduces desktop backup demands on the network and tape vault
• Defer the refresh cycle of desktop computers

Kanatek typically uses Symantec NetBackup Storage Migrator™ for Windows 2000, MS Windows 2000 Server, MS Exchange 2000, Symantec NetBackup DataCenter™, and Quantum near-line automated tape libraries. Storage managers are configured with automated, cost-effective policies to manage data lifecycles and integration with the operating system gives a seamless user experience.

Kanatek has the experience to help organizations cut down on the proliferation of servers that seems endemic in some organizations. Sometimes the rush to launch new products or applications means the IT infrastructure needed to run it becomes an afterthought and an IT group is left having to manage hundreds of servers, spread throughout an organization. Kanatek can help organizations review their infrastructure and cut down their costs, with no degradation in service quality. Kanatek can demonstrate application isolation and service level assurance using Sun's Solaris Resource Manager (SRM). SRM also provides resource management allocation on the shared server and is included in Solaris 9 or add-on to Solaris 8, 7 or 2.6.
