Storage Solutions
Storage solutions are quickly becoming the IT area with the most acronyms. Direct- or network-attached, live or backup, enterprise-grade storage solutions have come a long way in the past decade. We can design and implement a storage architecture to fit almost any need. We look at the entire network/services design and architecture for a tailor-made solution that addresses every aspect of the final product.
Storage is another piece of the high-availability puzzle, and becomes more complicated with advanced environments or heavy database architectures.
Direct attached
For a single server or small farm, direct attached storage still provides good performance for reasonable cost. However, scalability is often the shortcoming of direct-attached systems. Some systems allow for the addition of components to allow networked storage in the future.
Network Storage
Networked storage solutions can consolidate storage through the entire organization, improve synchronization and mobility, and reduce storage management and complexity. Networked storage can also provide different performance to different machines based on need, reducing costs and increasing efficiency.
Recovery and backup
Long- or short-term storage of historical data, or backup solutions for emergency recovery; accessed daily or yearly; there are enough recovery solutions to satisfy almost every need.
