Storage Area Network (SAN)
More than ever IT managers from large organisations and SMEs are coming up against the limitations of servers with direct-attached storage (DAS). The challenges to address may be more capacity to support data growth, higher performance to improve service delivery, better utilization of storage to save costs or even the necessity for advanced features such as:
- Replication
Ensures business continuity by allowing data being replicated between local and remote sites, enabling a Disaster Recovery solution - Snapshots
Increase data protection and reduce downtime by recovering any size volume to any server in seconds, with snapshots being created and stored requiring negligible capacity - Thin provisioning
Allows storage consumption only when data is physically written, cutting storage costs in half by eliminating allocated but unused capacity - Automated tiered storage
Automatically classifies and migrates data at block level to the optimum storage tier to deliver increased performance where it is needed.
