The right solution for data storage can lower costs and improve access to data and improve security for your business. Learn about your options and then make the best choice for your needs.
Virtual Storage Appliance
Virtual Storage Appliances (VSA) are software-based alternatives to physical storage systems. They operate in a virtualized environment in a virtual machine. They abstract the storage resources, and make them one storage device for the VMs. VSAs allow for flexibility, scalability and cost savings, while also integrating seamlessly with virtualization platforms.
SAN Storage
SAN storage stores files on multiple disks. This provides more redundancy and higher performance than traditional block storage. As opposed to other storage options that are port-based, VMware vSAN is software-defined and can be configured as a cluster in order to maximize performance and minimize downtime.
Cloud Storage
Cloud storage services are available in many types, but the most well-known are Amazon S3 and Microsoft Azure. This type of storage is ideal to archive data that isn’t used frequently or to be in compliance with regulations and industry standards regarding record retention.
Technology issues can occur, but it’s vital to have a backup solution in place to prevent downtime and loss of critical business data. A good backup solution can allow you to quickly recover after an issue, while maintaining complete access to your data. This is especially important for your most precious assets, such as the data of employees and customers.
