Infoskill has been providing infrastructure services to major Canadian organizations since 1988. Our path to success entails facilitating a technology platform that will allow you to focus on your core competencies instead of IT infrastructure. What we do best is establishing the foundation for systems management framework that includes Security Information Management, Asset management, Patch management, License management, Help Desk, Problem and Change management, Performance management, and Capacity planning. The services we provide can be classified into four major categories: Systems, Database, Networks, and Storage.   Storage Systems The Infoskill team has distinct experience in online, near-line or offline storage; our understanding and broad experience in enterprise wide storage gives us a competitive edge in key storage initiatives like storage-on-demand and storage consolidation. Our philosophy is utilizing the power to pool storage resources across disparate storage systems and servers to achieve storage virtualization. We advocate in automating tedious storage tasks like backup, recovery, performance management, availability management, and disaster recovery. One of our goals is to hide storage complexities behind the scenes so that the users only focus on performing their daily tasks regardless of the applications they will be using on any technology platform. As a natural extension of backup and restore, we also play a major role in the disaster recovery process for our clients. Finally, the gap between NAS and SAN is becoming less clear due to the recent developments in NAS technology while SAN costs are declining. We understand characteristics such as connectivity, protocols, file system, fault tolerance, data sharing, and performance and maping them to the technical and management requirements of our clients for the best cost effective storage solutions. Among our clients are Canada Life, Newcourt, Rogers, Royal Bank, and Gay Lea Foods. At Canada Life Assurance, Infoskill actively participated in many storage management initiatives.
