Server and Storage Solutions

Cloud storage is a cloud computing model that stores data on the Internet through a cloud computing provider who manages and operates data storage as a service. It's delivered on demand with just-in-time capacity and costs and eliminates buying and managing your own data storage infrastructure. This gives you agility, global scale, and durability, with 'anytime, anywhere' data access.

Business advantages of cloud storage are: Instant transfer of data to a remote location; Enhanced safety and security features; No question of additional expenditure; A boon for start-up firms or existing organizations; Instant data recovery after a computer crash or cyber attacks; The uninterrupted continuation of business without challenges; Clients can enjoy expensive storage space.

Direct-attached storage is a fairly basic, low-maintenance, low-cost solution where the storage system is a part of the actual host computer or connected directly to it. This could be as simple as an external hard drive and it's the opposite of network storage, where workstations and servers connect through a network. DAS is used in many IT infrastructures and larger DAS storage units can accommodate multiple disks in one enclosure.

Network attached storage (NAS) is an IP-based file-sharing device that's attached to a local area network. NAS can serve a variety of clients and servers over an IP network. A NAS device uses its own operating system and integrated hardware and software to deliver a range of file service needs.

A Storage Area Network (SAN) is a centrally managed, high-speed storage network consisting of one or more vendor storage systems, storage management software, application servers and network hardware that allows users to access and utilize business information data. A SAN storage platform presents pools of raw data to a server infrastructure over a dedicated network connection. Organizations of all sizes use SANs to increase storage utilization rates, improve application performance and availability, and to heighten security and data protection capabilities.

Network attached storage enables organizations to: Simplify management of data storage; Enable comprehensive data access and file sharing; Easily scale storage capacity and performance; Increase efficiency with centralized storage; Increase availability with efficient data replication and recovery options; Secure data with user authentication and file locking.

Virtualization is the process of creating a software-based, or virtual, representation of something, such as virtual applications, servers, storage, and networks. It is the single most effective way to reduce IT expenses while boosting efficiency and agility for all size businesses.

Virtualization technologies, or platforms, are more commonly referred to as hypervisors. There are several different hypervisors on the market — Hyper-V is Microsoft's version; some others that are well-known are VMWare's ESXi and vSphere, XenServer (Citrix), KVM Open Source Hypervisor and RHEV (Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization). The lion's share of the virtualization market is currently divided between vSphere and Hyper-V.

Hyper-V is a Microsoft technology that allows users to create virtual computer environments and run and manage multiple operating systems on a single physical server.

The capability to create a virtual switch comes at no extra cost. Hyper-V supports multiple operating systems. It simplifies live migrations. It integrates seamlessly with other Microsoft products.

VMware vSphere is a server virtualization platform created by VMware. Essentially, vSphere encompasses a set of virtualization products, which include the ESXi hypervisor, vSphere Client, VMware Workstation, vCenter, and others. All of these products combined constitute the VMware infrastructure, which enables centralized management of the created virtual environment.

Virtualization can increase IT agility, flexibility and scalability while creating significant cost savings. Greater workload mobility, increased performance and availability of resources, automated operations — they're all benefits of virtualization that make IT simpler to manage and less costly to own and operate. Additional benefits include: Reduced capital and operating costs; Minimized or eliminated downtime; Increased IT productivity, efficiency, agility, and responsiveness; Faster provisioning of applications and resources; Greater business continuity and disaster recovery; Simplified data center management; Availability of a true Software-Defined Data Center.
