Data is growing exponentially and it is becoming more and more critical to make this data available online 24x7.

Traditionally, a single server with a few GBs of disk was sufficient but with the growth in the storage environments and the data, the traditionally methods are no more being easily accepted.

Enterprise Storage could be done in three major forms.

Data could be stored on external disk boxes directly attached to the servers. This system of storage is referred to as Direct Attach Storage. Available in both SCSI & Fibre Channel Connection to a disk array which offers a wide choice of using SCSI, Fibre as well as ATA drives depending on the performance vs. cost preference. A portion of the complete storage can be allocated to different servers depending on the requirement. DAS is preferred for a network of 2 to 4 servers.Data could be stored on external disk boxes directly attached to the servers. This system of storage is referred to as Direct Attach Storage.

When heterogeneous servers are available on the network and cannot be connected directly to a common storage, it becomes difficult to add on disk space on each server. To protect your investment, we have Network Attached Storage solutions available with us. NAS offers optimum utilization of resources and instant backups on a backup device directly connected to the NAS appliance. Depending on the customer’s current and future storage requirements, NAS can be used as Integrated NAS as well as Gateway NAS.

For a large no. of heterogeneous servers requiring high performance and online transaction processing, Storage Area Network is the best choice. Most SAN implementations are based on the Fibre Channel architecture. Fibre channel is a technology standard that allows data to transfer from one node to another at very high speeds of 1 Gb/s to 2 Gb/s.

iSCSI is the latest technological implementation for SAN. It is an open standard based approach by which SCSI transports are wrapped by TCP/IP to allow their transport over IP.

With the developing technologies, NAS and SAN convergence is the latest trends in operation these days. SAN implementations are done through a NAS gateway. This helps utilizing the same disk system for both NAS-centric as well as SAN-centric applications.

To meet the latest high availability demands, we offer solutions integrating NAS, SAN and CAS to provide the optimum storage.
