Optical storage is a no contact media that allows data to be written using a laser beam. There are currently different types of optical media available CD, DVD or Blu-ray for storing data. The most common technology readily available today is Blu-ray and the media holds up to 1,500,000 A4 pages on a single 100GB disc. The technology is designed to store important data including documents, music, videos, pictures, scans or any other important assets that need to be retained for 50+ years.

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.

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 provide a range of CCTV storage solutions to store and protect recorded footage that needs to be kept or archived including cloud storage. Video surveillance provides businesses, law enforcement, councils and home users with the ability to remotely monitor their premises using IP CCTV cameras. 

We provide all types of iSCSI storage to provide data blocks to operating systems and applications. Initially, it used 1GbE and then 10GbE, now it works over 25GbE, 45GbE and 100GbE Ethernet networks providing seamless disk space for virtualisation, operating systems and many other applications that require additional disk space.  Over the years, various storage solutions have emerged, each striving to meet the demands of increasing data volumes, performance requirements, and accessibility needs. One such innovation that has transformed the way data is stored and accessed is iSCSI Storage (Internet Small Computer System Interface) storage. In this article, we delve into the intricacies of iSCSI storage, exploring its architecture, working principles, benefits, and applications.

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, data centres play a crucial role in supporting our online lives. They store, process, and manage the vast amounts of information that fuel everything from social media to cloud computing. However, as their importance grows, so does their environmental impact. This is where sustainability comes into focus.

Numerous businesses have moved their data to the cloud as it’s deemed to be safe, secure and convenient but all of this comes at a cost and that’s the really difficult part to control.  How you store different types of data on different cloud tiers and platforms is a headache for most IT directors and the CFO has no idea how much that costs from month to month and whether there is going to be an overspend at the end of the financial year.

Lenovo ThinkSystem Servers are the first range of servers designed by Lenovo. The new range of ThinkSystem Servers have been completely redesigned so you now have common components across the range i.e. power supplies, drives, trays etc. In the past each IBM/Lenovo server had different drive part numbers for the same drive! By introducing common parts across the entire range now makes support and maintenance far easier with less complexity.

In today’s digital landscape, the threat of a cyber-attack looms larger than ever. With each passing day, headlines remind us of breaches that jeopardise personal data and disrupt critical services. But what does this mean for businesses and infrastructure? The financial implications can be staggering - often far more than anticipated.
