Cost aligns to three variables: hardware, software, and support model required for your environment. Once we scope data volume, performance targets, and recovery objectives, we deliver a fixed, line-item proposal. 🔗 For baseline technology costs see: IBM FlashSystem Pricing

2–6 weeks end-to-end. Cyber vaults deploy fastest (≈2 weeks); full hybrid-cloud modernization tops out at six. All timelines include design, procurement, migration, and validation.

Cybersecurity blocks threats; cyber resilience recovers when blocking fails. Resilience adds immutable copies, air-gapped vaults, and automated recovery so business operations remain uninterrupted.


No. We are a specialized consultancy focused on storage, ransomware defense, and operational continuity—powered by IBM. You keep day-to-day IT ownership; we architect and implement mission-critical infrastructure.
Core stack: FlashSystem (storage), Storage Defender (AI-driven threat detection & recovery), Safeguarded Copy (immutable backups), and Watsonx analytics for predictive performance tuning.
IBM 24/7 enterprise support for hardware & software. • Optional StepKnock strategic reviews, quarterly health checks, and expansion planning.
Absolutely. Our architectures embed encryption, immutable logging, access controls, and audit-ready reporting—key pillars across these frameworks.
Minimal to none. We leverage live replication, staged cut-overs, and after-hours change windows to keep critical systems online.

FlashSystem arrays scale from terabytes to petabytes; software-defined tiers expand to cloud on-demand. Add capacity, performance, or new vault copies without forklift upgrades.
Yes. For complex environments we can deploy a limited-scope POC showing immutable copy creation, instant recovery, and performance benchmarks—typically within two weeks.
IBM Global Financing offers zero-upfront, pay-as-you-grow, or multiyear OpEx structures. We tailor terms to cap-ex/opex preferences and cash-flow targets.
Yes. FlashSystem and Storage Defender connect to >500 third-party platforms—backup suites, SIEMs, hypervisors, and public clouds—via native APIs and open standards.
