Storage
As a business grows and matures, so does the amount of data it holds and the value of that data. If the data is just held on servers and individual storage systems that are not shared then the business will face increased cost and complexity along with the accompanying business risks. Shared storage overcomes this and need not be costly and can grow with the business.

As businesses grow, so does their data. Any Information dependent organisation needs to protect and manage their data, and leaving that all on your servers creates a risk. All networks include some form of storage. Traditional network storage was located inside, or directly connected to, individual file servers that were scattered across workgroups throughout an organisation. This resulted in a cumbersome, complicated, multiple-server environment that was impossible to organise or secure.

Increasingly businesses are overcoming this by turning to external storage devices such as NetworkAttached Storage (NAS) and Storage Area Networks (SAN). These used to just be for large companies, but nowadays the technology is suitable for, and accessible to even small businesses.




Get your stored data off of your servers and onto shared storage. No longer is this just the domain of the big companies, there are shared storage options for every size organisation.

Talk to ICT Worldwide about Data Storage and how to get the most effective solution for your current and future needs.



These storage devices provide advantages like:
  • Fast File Access
  • Ease of Drive Mirroring
  • Resource Consolidation
  • Exceptional Reliability
  • Wide Availability
  • Ease of Data Sharing
  • High Storage Capacity
  • Redundancy
  • Fault Tolerance
  • Scalability
Generally speaking a NAS is simpler to manage and less expensive than a SAN, but less scalable and not as fault tolerant, although with rapid changes to technology and products in both NAS and SAN ranges it really comes down to your needs and determining what is right for you.

Connectivity solutions include the simplie iSCSi and the faster but more costly Fibre Channel. Depending on what you are going to use it for depends on the connectivity required and making this decision then determines what model of storage device you are looking for.

Storage provides greater flexibility and data protection with a range of options to choose from. ICT Worldwide can work with you to understand your current needs and future requirements so that we can guide you to a solution that will be able to grow with your business.
