A New SAN: The gift that keeps on giving
You know that feeling of joyfulness as soon as you develop an investment of something you’ve had your skills on for a little bit and it’s tragedy in that now it’s yours? Well, our collective faces are grinning inside the afterglow on the buying a whole new SAN (storage area network) from HP. In the world of Global Data Vault, this SAN would be the ultimate new hardware present we can easily give ourselves.
Let’s review this exciting technology and discuss how facilitates delivering better, faster, and many more reliable services to you.
In geek speak, SAN’s are enterprise-class, dedicated networks that provide the means to access consolidated, block level data storage, and those are words which makes us happy. SAN’s are primarily accustomed to make storage devices - like disk arrays - accessible to servers so that the devices appear as locally attached devices for the operating system. So apart from the colossal sophistication of what a SAN can do, it will allow Global Data Vault to take our level of service up a notch with added reliability, recovery speed, economies of scale and management features:
Reliability: It’s a dirty little secret among technology service providers, but things break everyday. Premier data backup and disaster recovery companies (like Global Data Vault) have a tremendous system of fail safes when ever hardware goes bad in order that replacements are put into production seamlessly with out the first is effected. A SAN encapsulates lots of the problems that may go awry and fixes every one of them on it's own, and creates incrementally better reliability. We like that.
Recovery speed: SAN’s facilitate a far more effective disaster process of recovery. These are better good at keeping multiple copies of customer data because a SAN can span a distant location that houses an alternative storage array. It enables storage replication through the disk array controllers, and that means after a disaster event, you are up and running faster than you might even think you’re ready for.
Economy of Scale: A SAN provides more economical growth, allowing us to get a much less expensive scalability option, which we then transfer those efficiencies to your customers. And that provides you with something to smile about.
Management features: A SAN storage network simplifies storage administration because it contains networking capabilities from it. Inside a lesser storage option, we might have to logically separate the storage into different devices. The SAN manages to do it for people. Think of it this way: A less sophisticated storage option would be just like having a car park packed with a lot of little buckets that people were pouring data into. A SAN allows us create highly virtualized storage pool that people can pour all the data into. The SAN was designed to work out the separation logically plus much more effectively that we can ourselves.
We choose a SAN by HP for numerous reasons. Technical excellence, appropriate investment and superior support are usually keys. And it also may be a “chicken vs. egg” thing, but we realize that although most business leaders ask the question, “How may i succeed?” the founders of HP instilled another question in to the culture: “How are we able to contribute?”. Global Data Vault shares this mind set and appreciate all the good it brings when our suppliers share this view as well.
