With the advent of virtual server environments and the need for highly available services, robust highly available storage has become a key requirement for IT infrastructure. Storage Networking segregates data from the servers doing the processing; this allows multiple servers to access the same data either concurrently or in the event of a failure.

i-dash will work together with you in order to find the best storage devices suitable to your business infrastructure. Our technical engineers will help you to understand the key features of both Network Attached Storage (NAS) and Storage Area Network (SAN) technology.

NetApp storage arrays utilise snapshot technologies to provide an effective backup solution for your systems while using significantly less disk resources and allow you to recover in seconds as opposed to traditional backup methods:

Storage systems can integrate closely with your applications to simplify backup and recovery operations and give you the agility your infrastructure needs to respond to your clients. Some examples of the tight integration between storage and application are below:

NetApp storage with VMware to provide business continuity solutions:

NetApp storage with Microsoft Exchange services:

We have supplied, installed and supported storage solutions from a wide range of vendors and worked to clients budgetary requirements. The iOmega StorCenter series of appliances provide a wide range of features to suit branch offices and small to medium enterprises:

When designing and implementing storage there are a number of issues to consider. Further information and resources and whitepapers can be found on the Storage Networking Industry Association website http://www.snia.org/education/tutorials/ or by contacting us for further details.
