Colt, announced the launch of its performance-guaranteed shared storage service across Europe.

In its commitment to help enterprises meet their increasing demand for high performance shared storage services, Colt has announced on Monday, the release of its performance-guaranteed shared storage service.

According to Colt, this new service enables customers to move data and workloads seamlessly between different storage tiers, and
instantly increase storage performance and volume on demand.

This means, Colt’s enterprise customers can now benefit from guaranteed service levels usually associated with dedicated storage, at shared storage prices.

Connectikpeople has discovered that, the service base on all solid state disk (SSD) technology complements Colt’s enterprise class cloud services and will be deployed across Colt’s European data centres.
In addition with this new service, authorised members of the IT department can access the service online, allowing them to simply and easily move data between tiers without the risk of reduction in performance, or taking critical business applications offline at anytime.

Finally, we may recall that, this new enterprise grade shared storage service is part of Colt Optimum services for IT and will complement the Optimum infrastructure, platform and workload services designed specifically for enterprises.

For those who unfamiliar, Colt Optimum is the name of the direct-to-enterprise portfolio across IT, Network and Communication Services.
