The Benefits of Networked Storage
Utilization - In many cases where storage is coupled directly with servers, 75% of capacity is wasted as idle space. MSN can help you identify and quantify your idle storage assets and make specific recommendations to improve productivity and increase storage utilization.
Availability - A networked storage solution can increase overall availability by adding a level of redundancy that is not found in direct-attach architectures. Networked storage also provides a foundations for highly-available clustered applications such as Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server, Oracle, as well as virtual-server solutions. Other features, such as end-to-end parity checking, disk scrubbing, and proactive diagnostics protect your company's valuable data.
Backup and Recovery - With growing data sets and shrinking backup schedules, MSN can architect a solution that reduces your company's risk of losing valuable data. By leveraging tools such as backup to disk, virtual tape libraries, and scalable tape technologies, our backup and recovery experts can help you reduce or eliminate the time needed to recover data such as email, files, or entire applications.
Performance - If your application is degraded by a disk I/O bottleneck, and networked storage solution can eliminate the problem now and in the future as your application grows. MSN can survey your application environment and design a custom solution that delivers maximum performance and I/O scalability.
Easy to Manage and Grow - While direct-attach environments are difficult to manage as they grow, and networked storage solution from MSN will allow your organization to grow your data on demand. MSN can design a solution that seamlessly grows disk devices and file systems without downtime or disruption to your critical business applications. You can eliminate taking systems outages in order to rebuild RAID groups or migrate data, as well as reduce the risk of lost data that can occur during these operations.
