Market Opportunity

Data storage is still a complex issue to many end-users, who look to their VARs to provide advice and exacting solutions.

Architecture

Appreciating the different architectures which can be deployed as part of a data storage solution is a key element to implementing a successful solution. This section gives an overview of the main architectures and provides insights into both usage and functionality.

The 'Flash' presentations and the associated dialogue offer a more dynamic overview that contrasts and compares the architectural alternatives available.

 

The three main areas that we look at are:

DAS (Direct Attached Storage)
NAS (Network Attached Storage)
SAN (Storage Area Network)
