What is data storage?

From NAS to SDS storage, small businesses and enterprise have more storage choices than ever before. Here’s a brefing for data storage.

Network Attached Storage (NAS)

Network-attached storage (NAS) provides fast, simple, reliable access to data in an IP networking environment. NAS solutions are suitable for small and mid-sized businesses needing large amounts of economical storage that multiple users can share over a network. And given that many small businesses lack IT departments, NAS solutions are easy to deploy, centrally manage and consolidate.

SAN Storage

A Storage Area Network (SAN) is a specialized, high-speed network that provides block-level network access to storage. SANs are typically composed of hosts, switches, storage elements, and storage devices that are interconnected using a variety of technologies, topologies, and protocols. SANs may also span multiple sites.

A SAN presents storage devices to a host such that the storage appears to be locally attached. This simplified presentation of storage to a host is accomplished through the use of different types of virtualization.

Cloud Storage

Cloud Storage is a service where data is remotely maintained, managed, and backed up. all the data in the cloud is stored virtually on servers. Furthermore, you can access everything that is on the cloud from any computer that has an internet connection.

SDS Storage

Software-defined storage (SDS) is a computer program that manages data storageresources and functionality and has no dependencies on the underlying physical storage hardware.Purists argue that any data storage product could be described as software-defined, since all storage products require software to manage the underlying hardware and control storage-related tasks. However, the marketing term software-defined storage is most often associated with software products designed to run on commodity server hardware with Intel x86 processors and to enable cost savings over traditional storage area network (SAN) and network-attached storage (NAS) systems that tightly couple software and hardware.

What Can We Offer?

Before investing in a data storage solution, consult with us on which option–or options–will best meet your business’s current and future needs. Then create a plan for deploying the storage your business is likely to need when and where it will be needed.Don’t wait until you need more storage before deciding what to do. Start planning now for your future storage needs, so you won’t waste time and money later.
