Storage
We are partnered with HP, Sun
Storagetek, NetApp. We provide solutions in various
technologies of Storages.
Storage was once a peripheral – a mere
feature of the server. Those days are long gone, and that's
a good thing because information shouldn't always be hidden
behind, or bottled up inside a single server.
Data – translated by applications and
infrastructure into information – has grown in value to the
point where, for many enterprises, it is the most valuable
corporate asset.
Storage is now the single most
important IT resource for assuring:
Data availability – the persistent
availability of data as defined by the storage utility model
which basically assures that enterprise data will always be
accessible, will always be "on" – just like electricity.
Lost access to data can be severely damaging and possibly
fatal to the enterprise. For example, in a health care
setting, continuous access to data could make the difference
between life and death.
Data integrity – the protection and
preservation of data from corruption, loss and outside
attack. Storage can also be thought of as a vault. When you
retrieve data, you expect to retrieve exactly
what was deposited. Storage and
storage management personnel are the guardians of data.
Disaster recoverability – the ability
of storage networks and storage management applications to
play a critical role in recovering from the inevitable
disaster. Disaster scenarios include anything from the loss
of a server running a critical application, to the loss of
an entire data center due to fire, flood, earthquake, etc
