This Thecus file server is designed for companies looking for high performance. It seems to be a standard 2U NAS set of 8 SATA disks, an Intel processor, 2 GB of memory and a fault-tolerant power supply. But the highlight of the device is support for 10G network controllers, which will allow the server to successfully survive an upgrade of network infrastructure or fit into a 10G environment at a low cost, because Thecus servers have always been more affordable than competitors.

This is a 5-disk file server, expandable to 10 disks using an external module. This NAS has a 2-core processor that can achieve speeds of up to 200 MB/s, and the third generation Synology Disk Station Manager with a multitasking web-based window interface allows you to make any settings faster and easier. What is interesting about this NAS for small businesses and what are its fundamental differences from competitors, we will consider in this article.

HP Lefthand storage ideology is based on 5 core technologies: Storage Clustering, Network RAID, iSCSI Networking, Thin Provisioning, Local & amp; Remote Copy. The names speak for themselves. In this article, we will find confirmation of each of these points, as well as consider how the different versions of the StorageWorks P4500 and StorageWorks P4300 series storage systems, designed for use in large enterprises, differ.

In this article, we are talking about Proware's professional storage solutions. This company has vast experience and a significant range of storage systems, distinguished by the type of connection. ProNAS file servers run on a proprietary operating system that allows you to build low-cost, fault-tolerant configurations with support for backup agents, VMware virtual environments and an extended set of proprietary services.

This file server will be of interest to large companies. It is assembled on the basis of a fast Intel Celeron M processor with a frequency of 1.6 GHz, it has support for a reliable file system ZFS, two network ports with aggregation, the ability to stack and connect via USB to a computer. But the most interesting thing is dynamic iSCSI partitioning, which will save space for iSCSI connections.

File server for large companies based on fast Intel processor. This is an American design, so don't be surprised if the model is full of contradictions. On the one hand, it supports Windows AD and iSCSI, as well as the advanced X-RAID2 technology, but on the other hand, it lacks scalability, eSATA and console access. Let's try to figure out what happened in the end?

In the infrastructure of any modern enterprise, a special place should be given to data storage and backup systems. In case of failure, human error or for maintaining archives, but the data must be reliably protected from loss, prying eyes or natural disaster. In this article, we will explain what hardware is used to copy data in different cases.

MSA2000sa disk arrays in a 2U case are designed to form a consolidated storage environment for small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as for organizing disk storage of the second or third level in remote offices and branches of large companies. It is important for administrators to know a number of subtleties of configuring these disk arrays.

Usually, the user trusts his information to a single hard drive and backup. This approach is absolutely inappropriate for enterprises where data loss is equal to business loss. What data storage systems exist today and from what threats can they protect your data and, accordingly, your business?

Modern hard drives are fast, they have huge volumes, they are quite accessible to everyone, but unfortunately, they are still as unreliable as before, as research proves. You can protect your home archive of photos and videos, passwords and programs from HDD failure by setting up a RAID 1 array. We have tested the available RAID controllers to find out which one is the best to trust with data storage.

The AIT format was developed by Sony based on helican-scan technology. It was the first to use built-in flash memory on a MIC (Memory-In-Cassette) cassette, which contains service information about the tape content and a data distribution map, which allows to optimize access to them. Like other modern formats, AIT uses a tracking system (ATF) to record tracks more densely.

In this article, we will look at the advantages offered by RAID arrays and compare four IDE RAID controllers from manufacturers such as 3ware, Adaptec, HighPoint and Promise.
