Less redundancy, security against failures

A Storage Area Network is a secondary network existing parallel to a primary Local Area Network. The consolidation of all stored data is simplified, as it is always directly available on the SAN. SAN is only one of our specialized solutions for your storage problems.

Installation and administration of file servers becomes redundant

Network Attached Storage (NAS) are mass storage units connected to the local network and used to expand the storage capacity. NAS systems are typically used to avoid the high expenditure involved in the installation and administration of a dedicated file server.

There are numerous options for storage capacities and possibilities

SAN and NAS are only two of many means of protecting your company against possible loss of data in case of failures and to ensure that the data remains accessible. Benefit from Fiberworks' experience in the design and administration of complex strategy and architecture solutions.

Modern server systems often do not work to their full capacity

Today, the average utilization of server systems is only between 10-20% of the available computing power. If, as recommended for Microsoft operating systems, only one core application were installed for each server, then this would lead to uncontrolled server growth and cost explosion. Besides hardware cost, rack space, controlled environment and power, primarily administration expenditure and unused or under utilized hardware resources (primarily CPU and storage) offer a great savings potential. The operating system can be separated from the hardware by introducing a logical virtualization layer.

More scope for products and services

Modern companies need margins to quickly achieve marketability of products and services and to keep up with the competition. At the same time, every company is structured differently and has different IT infrastructure requirements.

Current event and increasingly complex electronic business processes have put the focus on business process security. Security of customer data and transactions should therefore be of utmost priority in any company. Decision makers have to recognize that planning of business continuity and data recovery in disaster situations is vital for the success of a business.

Today, information represents an increasingly precious and valuable resource for a company. It is therefore important to minimize risks while at the same time lowering costs and increasing flexibility.

A simplified and robust storage environment supporting you in efficiently managing information across its full life cycle should be the focus of any holistic data center solution.

Consolidation, combined with virtualization and automated data management can help you streamline your information infrastructure, facilitating the flexible real-time realization of your business goals.

At the same time, the management of business data throughout the life cycle from design to deletion can improve the storage utilization and enable access at minimum cost.

Furthermore, ensuring permanent data access, protecting the critical company resources and optimizing the recovery costs based on the business risk and importance of the data is vital.
