Data Storage
Let Carat Computer Systems ensure you get the most reliable storage hardware and software at the lowest cost per byte. We supply a range of high performance solutions that are reliable, easy to use and simple to install and manage. All our storage solutions are available with multiple host interface options, which means they are designed to meet your specific requirements.Direct Attach Storage (DAS)
This solution involves connecting hard drives directly to a server using serial attached SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) It also includes connecting servers to an external HDD enclosure.
This is a great low cost, reliable and fast solution, but the drawback is that it leads to small data islands that can only be accessed by a single server.By not allowing the data or the storage space to be shared across the IT infrastructure, a Direct Attach Storage solution will become inflexible and the ability to use its capacity will decline.
Network Attach Storage (NAS)
This is the latest in storage technology. NAS allows storage devices to provide file access through an Ethernet infrastructure using iSCSI (internet SCSI).
This enables quick and flexible distribution of network storage capacity, using existing infrastructure that can be accessed by a range of different operating systems.
Networked storage shares resource and allows for increased system usage, which reduces the overall cost of providing IT services and is scalable according to your business needs.
Storage Area Networks
Creating a storage network is more involved than simply cabling servers and storage systems together. Storage resources must be configured, allocated, tested and maintained as new devices are added and enterprise storage requirements change.
Carat Computer Systems can supply and help you install the all the leading Storage vendor products enabling fast, flexible storage setup and helping to reduce the cost and the time it takes to manage the project.
The ongoing management of your San is a vital part of San operation, so it's important to select tools that can minimise the time and effort needed to keep a storage area network running.
Carat Computer Systems will help ensure you have the right system for your business, allowing you to monitor, maintain and grow your SAN environment – either locally or remotely.
