Over the years, the ways technology are used and the evolution of the typical business climate has resulted in the exponential increase in the volume of digitized data. Increases in workers productivity due to the ability to access information anytime, anywhere has resulted in the high dependencies of this mode of information sharing and any system downtime, unavailable data or hindered processes will affect the business' success.

IT managers are face with the challenges of looking for solutions that better manages and improves storage performance while protecting the data securely.

Storage Solutions

Direct Attached Storage (DAS)

Direct attached storage, unlike SAN or NAS, is a non-networked storage system that connects to individual server or workstation.

Storage Area Network (SAN)

The storage area network (SAN) provides a flexible storage infrastructure within the network, by connecting a server cluster to a pool of storage resources, with an option for remote data backup and disaster recovery over the wide area network (WAN), maintaining the availability of the data and reducing the operational resources needed to manage it. This flexible solution allows companies to increase their storage capacity as their business data increases.

Network Attached Storage (NAS)

In a NAS environment, servers are connected to a storage system by the LAN network, providing direct access to the file system and disk storage. Using standard file access protocols such as Network File System ( NFS ) and Common Internet File System ( CIFS ) to make storage requests, this allows the IT manager to provide a single shared storage solution that can simultaneously support both Windows-and UNIX-based clients and servers.
