iSanity, part of the Infotech Group and an independent player in the enterprise data centre solutions, consulting and professional services industry, is fast emerging as a leader in this ultra-competitive area of ICT services.

As a specialist provider of enterprise storage optimisation, the tech firm uses its 30 years’ collective experience to offer professional services and consultation on cloud services; enterprise networking, storage and servers; data protection; and disaster recovery.

The rational approach adopted by most business leaders in their quest for agility is that information storage and management are critical. They are important because of the need to comply with legislation (such as POPI), the need to embrace cloud services to automate processes and transform capex into opex, reduce expenses and secure a return on investment.

Data growth is exploding and this has fuelled the demand for disruptive technologies such as Infinidat Enterprise Storage, which delivers enterprise storage at an unbeatable price. Infinidat provides flash-like performance and 99.99999% uptime.

Rohan de Beer, General Manager at iSanity, says there are a host of influences that make this an exceptionally dynamic and highly pressurised area of IT service delivery — including the need to protect and harness data, to line up solutions to enhance storage and reduce the complexity of overall infrastructure management.

“With this, the risk of losing data also increases. iSanity’s focus is not just to assist in the solutions around storage, but also to assist the customer with specialist data protection services. Our business model and level of expertise mean that we have the ability and resources to add value to businesses of any size. Our experience and market knowledge make us the partner of choice for enterprises,” says De Beer.

iSanity’s strengths include the depth of its skills pool, its understanding of highly complex multi-vendor technology architectures and infrastructures, and its knowledge of the impact that cloud services continue to have on businesses in established and emerging markets.

“We will remove the headache of having to maintain support/maintenance agreements and annual renewals, while at the same time ensuring that all storage components are optimally configured and regularly maintained to achieve the optimal lifespan. We will also guarantee that the most cost-effective solutions are provided for the redeployment/replacement of end-of-life storage products, brokering buy-back agreements where required by leveraging our strategic relationships within the storage industry,” De Beer continues.

Optimum cloud services

With its recent acquisition, iSanity is now able to provide flexible cloud solutions.

In partnership with XDSL and Stratus Technology, the new iSanity cloud offering includes cloud services like software-as-a-service (SaaS), platform-as-a-service (PaaS), backup-as-a-service (BaaS) and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) as its core offering.

Harnessing its specialist industry knowledge, iSanity will now also provide secure storage-as-a-service in its own hosted cloud solution, where clients can migrate or archive their data in a secure cloud infrastructure with best-of-breed cloud technology.

iSanity innovatively leverages cloud services to manage information, integrate technology and empower customer-centricity to become agile, virtualised and digitally enhanced.
