Object Storage is a method for storing millions of files and petabytes of data on storage nodes using a global namespace and file system. It is vastly more scalable than traditional file or block storage. It is estimated within the next 7 years 90% of the worlds data will be stored on object. Need additional disk capacity, just […]
The need for Green Data Storage is greater now than it has ever been. With increasing electricity costs, the continual threat of power outages and global warming predictions, the whole area of data centre storage management needs to be addressed. We all know that our data storage requirements are doubling every 18 months and whilst disk capacities […]
Fibre channel storage has become the de facto standard for high-performance storage for connecting block storage using a fibre channel storage network as a SAN. Fibre channel storage replaced SCSI to provide a highly efficient way of moving data blocks around a network. Today fibre channel stoarge speeds are 64Gbps and allow the ability to connect […]
We provide affordable storage for data, backup, archiving, DR, remote access or a second copy of your data with unlimited capacity and continuous uptime, it can store any type of data. All cloud data is located in a tier 4 UK data centre (one of 12 globally), is low cost, fast, reliable secure, scalable and […]
Cloud NAS (Network Attached Storage) solutions are becoming more and more popular among businesses of all kinds. As they let companies use cloud storage for a wide range of applications, networks, and archive needs. The standard NAS procedure is virtualised in the cloud, simplifying equipment and allowing for several deployment alternatives. Businesses require a reliable, […]
CCTV storage is a critical component of any surveillance system, enabling the retention and retrieval of video footage for security purposes. The benefits of storing CCTV footage range from providing evidence for investigations to deterring criminal activities and enhancing employee safety. The types of storage solutions available, including DVRs, NVRs, cloud-based storage, hybrid solutions, and […]
All flash storage is an architecture that only makes use of solid-state drives (SSDs). Unlike traditional storage systems relying on spinning disks, this system takes advantage of the flash memory technology based on NAND-based flash chips. Storing data electronically, with no mechanical parts to worry about, yields faster access times and enhanced performance.
Building data centre infrastructures are increasingly complex, error-prone and time-consuming. The traditional approach of putting together best-in-class components is a complicated and cumbersome process; it requires a deep knowledge of all components involved and an understanding of their various dependencies on each other. Consequently, such a do-it-yourself approach would always present businesses with multiple risks.
JBOD enclosures are able to support both solid-state drives and disk drives within the same enclosure. To the host, a JBOD provides access over 6Gb/s or 12Gb/s SAS to each disk individually, making it ideal for software-defined applications or newer operating systems that can directly control the individual disk storage devices and can connect to […]
Hybrid storage arrays that combine both flash storage and hard disks to provide high-performance storage at an affordable price to deliver the capacity and IOPS that a business needs to power their software applications, and that's where hybrid storage comes into play. Whether you're a small start-up or an established enterprise, understanding how hybrid storage works can revolutionise […]
