Our Approach PDF Print E-mail


Tectrade is a specialist server & storage integrator that offers a fundamentally different approach. We have developed a highly innovative methodology that helps organisations address their immediate processing, storage and data infrastructure requirements but also transition their IT environment to meet future needs.

Tectrade delivers both tactical and strategic solutions using an innovative discovery methodology, underpinned by a set of core architecture goals and delivering clear and measurable benefits.
Central to Tectrade's approach is the identification of measureable proof points, agreed with the customer and critical to the success of the project. These provide the fundamental performance measures for the whole engagement process, from design through to deployment and support. There is increasing commoditisation of server & storage hardware and software. The main vendors all have products that address the most common requirements of the IT environment. However, a consequence of falling prices and rapidly rising data volumes has been ad-hoc acquisition and a preference for low cost hardware over more expensive but intelligent server & storage infrastructures.

Typical issues arising from first generation server & storage development are

  • Increasing complexity
  • Slow response to new business projects
  • Increasing management time
  • Long and unreliable backup and recovery
  • Poor utilisation
  • Inactive and low value data residing on expensive disk
  • Increasing power and space requirements

Solution Goals

  • Proven, consolidated, simplified server & storage environments with the tools to make management easier
  • Provide a tiered storage model and service catalogue delivering differentiated service levels and cost to the business
  • Deliver immediate cost reduction through a new tiered commercial model
  • Incorporate dynamic virtual processing power.
  • Incorporate dynamic provisioning of storage infrastructures to improve service.
  • Incorporate dynamic provisioning of server & storage infrastructures to reduce the time to market for new projects
  • Improved Business Continuity
  • Improved Disaster Recovery capability
  • Improve service through reduced problems and faster fix times
  • Deliver best practice process and procedures
