ISCSI Storage Solutions
iSCSI storage solutions offer customers an affordable entry point to storage area networks (SANs). iSCSI is a low cost alternative to traditional fibre channel infrastructure and allows customers to collapse their physical and virtual environments onto easy to manage, affordable unified storage. This results in higher utilization rates, faster recovery times and the ability to replicate data to a disaster recovery site. An iSCSI SAN provides the foundation for a cost effective shared storage solution that takes advantage of existing network infrastructures and allows organizations of all sizes to reap the benefits of shared storage.
iSCSI is used to facilitate data transfers over intranets and to manage storage over long distances. The iSCSI protocol is among the key technologies expected to help bring about rapid development of the storage area network (SAN) market, by increasing the capabilities and performance of storage data transmission. Because of the ubiquity of IP networks, iSCSI can be used to transmit data over local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), or the Internet and can enable location-independent data storage and retrieval.
ISCSI & Network Attached Storage (NAS) Benefits
Consolidation of physical servers and storage allows for increased utilization and decreased costs for power and cooling. Power is often a gating factor when new projects surface.
Back up to disk (B2D) allows fast recovery of data that resides on shared ISCSI storage. Ensure the data is there when you need it. Tape is often unreliable and time consuming to restore from.
Allow for affordable business continuity; iSCSI SANs allow for a modular approach to disaster recovery
Enable a tiered storage approach in order to ensure your companies information is at the right place at the right time. Tiered storage ensures your data resides on the most cost effective storage medium at the various stage of the information life cycle
