Storage

Storage solutions remain a top priority in IT budgets precisely because the integrity, availability and protection of data are vital to business productivity and success. But the role of information storage far exceeds day to day functions. Enterprises are also operating in an era of increased uncertainty. IT personnel find themselves assessing and planning for more potential risks than ever before, ranging from acts of terrorism to network security threats

A backup and disaster recovery plan is essential, and information storage solutions provide the basis for its execution

We consider the following criteria for coming up with the best Storage Solution:

• Capacity - the amount and type of data (file level or block level) that needs to be stored and shared
• Performance - I/O and throughput requirements
• Scalability - Long-term data growth
• Availability and Reliability - how mission-critical are your applications?
• Data protection - Backup and recovery requirements
• IT staff and resources available
• Budget concerns

Three types of Storage Solution given by JNS based on assessment of your needs and nature:

1. DAS: Ideal for Local Data Sharing Requirements
2. NAS: File-Level Data Sharing Across the Enterprise
3. SAN: High Availability for Block-Level Data Transfer
