Data Storage
Node4’s data storage solutions utilize the EqualLogic iSCSI SAN devices, which gives the technology and tools to build our affordable and easily manageable solution.
The main areas in which Node4 can provide solutions in this area include:
Back-up & Restore: To have a consistent, usable, secure copy of data to store long term backup is necessary to many businesses. Backup can be burdensome but with storage consolidated on an EqualLogic iSCSI SAN you can dramatically simplify backup and recovery without downtime, improving reliability as well as reducing costs.
You can backup from a central storage pool, based in Node4’s Data Centres, easing the operational burden of both backup and restore and enabling business continuity for users. Server-less backup solutions reduce equipment and operational expenditures and are available with Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and VMware VCB.
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery: The EqualLogic enterprise-class iSCSI SAN with virtualized storage arrays enables IT administrators, with the technology and tools, to build affordable and easily manageable business continuity and disaster recovery solutions.
Benefits include:
- Affordable and easy to deploy
- Multiple application-consistent restore points
- Recovery in minutes
- Lower ongoing costs.
Storage Consolidation:
The growth of company files, e-mail, databases, and application data drives a constant need for more storage. Consolidating your storage resources offers an optimized approach to data management.
Bringing additional storage online is truly seamless; additional disk and controller resources are automatically brought online without disrupting applications accessing the storage pool.
