Storage Practice

Storage that keeps up and never lets go.

Data that's fast, safe and always recoverable.

Solvin designs storage architectures that balance performance, cost and resilience — from all-flash SAN and scale-out NAS to object storage, immutable backup and multi-site disaster recovery aligned to your RPO/RTO commitments.

/ Capabilities

What's in scope.

Primary storage design

All-flash and hybrid SAN/NAS from Dell, NetApp, Pure, HPE — sized for IOPS, latency and growth.

Object & unstructured

S3-compatible object stores for archives, media, backup targets and AI/ML data lakes.

Backup & recovery

Veeam, Commvault, Rubrik and native cloud backup with immutable, air-gapped copies.

Disaster recovery & BCP

Multi-site replication, DR runbooks and tested failover — pilot-light to warm-standby topologies.

Data protection & ransomware resilience

Immutable snapshots, 3-2-1-1-0 policy, isolated recovery environments and recovery drills.

Storage lifecycle & tiering

Hot/warm/cold tiering, deduplication and capacity planning to keep spend predictable.

How we engage

We benchmark current storage IO patterns, quantify recovery objectives, and design a tiered architecture — protecting the crown jewels first.

Reference architectures we deploy

Patterns we deliver most often across regulated Indian enterprises.

  • All-flash primary SAN (Pure FlashArray, Dell PowerStore, NetApp AFF) for latency-sensitive OLTP
  • Scale-out NAS (Isilon, NetApp) for unstructured, media and analytics data
  • S3-compatible object with immutability for backup, archive and AI/ML data lakes
  • Veeam / Commvault / Rubrik with air-gapped, immutable landing zones
  • Multi-site DR with orchestrated failover and quarterly recovery drills

Ransomware resilience by design

Every design starts from the assumption that primary storage will be attacked. Immutable snapshots, isolated recovery vaults, MFA-protected admin planes and periodic tabletop drills are non-negotiable — not add-ons.

/ Our Expertise

Storage architects who have restored real ransomware events.

Our storage team spans SAN, NAS, object and cloud-native storage — with hands-on recovery experience across ransomware, controller failure and multi-site outage scenarios. We design for the day the primary array is compromised, not just the day it was installed.

Common questions.

Do you also cover cloud-native storage?

Yes — S3, Azure Blob, GCS, EFS, Azure Files, and hybrid patterns like Azure Files Sync or FSx for NetApp ONTAP.

How do you protect backups from ransomware?

Immutable object lock or hardened Linux repositories, MFA-protected admin, air-gapped copies, and monthly restore verification. Backups are useless if attackers can encrypt them too.

Can you validate our current RPO/RTO claims?

Yes — we run a recovery assessment: real restore of a representative workload against your stated SLA, with a written gap report and remediation plan.

Do you operate storage 24×7 after deployment?

Optional. Storage operations are covered under Managed IT Services or Managed Cloud, including capacity forecasting and firmware hygiene.
