RAID
RAID's next generation is upon us. As we transition to host independent, active - active - failover, SAS-SATA backplanes, 10Gbe iSCSI and 8 Gbit Fibre Channel, all futures are starting to deliver.
Write back is becoming write through, heartbeats are sent across the SAN (not the LAN) and "cache coherency" has brought real data security into play. True, multiple, virtualized
fabrics are becoming the standard. Who really makes that “brand name” / #1 rated iSCSI or Fibre Channel solution. Call, ask & compare pricing.

Fibre Channel
Bridged disk / tape subsystems and all FC-AL
JBODs have turned into shared 4 Gbit SANs & multiple switched
fabrics, accelerated with SSD (Solid State Disk) & hot
serverLESS backup. All of the next generation's Fibre Channel
products ( HBAs, FC tape libraries, RAID controllers, hubs,
switches, SSD, clustered file systems, ect.) are delivering into
production enviornments NOW. Our tech room is integrating and
delivering end to end 4Gbit Fibre Channel solutions

iSCSI
iSCSI’s price & performance
advantages are driving the next generation’s SAN /
SAS-SATA capacity boom from the SMB into the
enterprise. 10 GbE (10 Gigabit Ethernet) is finally
available, delivering and you can try it
yourself. Access live iSCSI SAN storage across the
internet, using iSCSI HBAs (with TCPIP Offload
Engines aboard) or software initiators .

NAS
NAS is a lower cost, user friendly technology that
allows you to attach hard disk (or optical CD / DVD)
storage to your LAN (network) without the need for
additional costly servers. These "thin server"
appliances can compliment or replace costly servers
& optical jukeboxes with faster user access, no
moving robotic parts, a smaller foot print, more
capacity and no additional software for user
access.
