Storage Networks SAN/NAS/iSCSI
Your company’s data is the heart of your business, and the secure storage
and rapid retrieval of this information is critical to your success. Minntek
offers a complete range of open, interoperable, and scaleable storage
solutions that allow you to protect, consolidate, share, and utilize your
company’s data.
The rapid pace of storage growth has required organizations to
re-evaluate how they design and manage their server and storage resources.
The building blocks of today’s vast storage requirements, include Storage
Area Networks (SAN), Network-Attached Storage (NAS) and iSCSI. Each has a
unique design that provide advantages over the other depending on the use of
the storage.
Expert planning and design are as important as the SAN assets themselves.
Minntek Solutions provides years of experience in the IT methodologies that
are required to make these networked storage devices work seamlessly
together.
The networked model of storage, is a proven solution. Benefits of Network
Storage include:
- Scalable/Upgradeable design that addresses current and future
business needs
- Manageability that can be centralized, and provide standard tools
for ease of administration
- Flexible/Open to leverage current storage technologies or
heterogeneous computing platforms
- Creates a framework for consolidation
- Increased flexibility of storage allocation and service levels
- Highly available and Secure
- Integration with backup and recovery processes
- Starting point for disaster recovery and business continuity

Organizations need to evaluate how this storage will interact with the
overall environment. Our consultants can work with you to review your
infrastructure and design the appropriate solution for your company.
