We DELIVER 4 types of RAID                        

Enterprise class Fibre Channel, SAS, SCSI or iSCSI RAID from  EMC, Dell, Huawei & NexentaStor. 5 9s has finally been replaced by 0. Apple is delivering Promise's VTrak series. Dell now owns both Compellent and Equallogic and is just starting to deliver solutions based on the formost proponent of the IT's latest catchphrase, SDS (Software defined Storage), NexentaStor by Nexenta. 

Cloud Storage is the answer to data's exponential growth, coupled with today's legal retention issues. Enterprises are using inexpensive storage servers running oblect storage software, housed locally or remotely, for their tier 1, 2 & 3 storage requirements. This combination of private, public & hybrid clouds allow them access to their data stores from any location, under any circumstances. There is no more cost effective or secure storage available.

White Box SATA, SCSI, SAS, iSCSI, FCOE, SSD based, Infiniband & Fibre Channel RAIDs, up to 3PB capacity each, that  we build using high performance, market standard, vanilla components  (Promise, Dot Hill, Xyratex, LSI,  Infotrend,  Intel, Seagate, WD, Hitachi, top 5 enclosure manufacturers) for data security, high performance AND cost  effectiveness. These storage solutions come with enterprise features like storage based snapshot, replication, thin provissioning, etc. These RAIDs ARE the "sweet spot" for most video streaming, deduplication, Tier 2 or 3 and virtual tape library requirements.

Leading Edge A new generation of appliance based storage is just starting to deliver high performance, application specific, multi function solutions into production enviornments. Intel's Romley (Multi core CPU) based storage appliances with hardware based encription, deduplication and compression are giving VMware, DPM, Backup Exec & Hyper-V new data security, capacity and performance options previously unavailable. Software defined storage, the "next great thing", is scaling to multople petabytes AND allowing enterprise users to have access to real tiering & massive capacities at 1/4 the price wiout losing any of the features.

RAID's next generation is upon us. As we transition to commodity priced, host  independent, active - active - failover, SAS - SATA backplanes, SSD based, 10Gbe iSCSI or FCOE and 16 Gbit Fibre Channel , all futures are starting to deliver. Write back cache is now 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 have become the  standard. Enterprise features like storage based snapshot, mirroring, thin provisionning, deduplication, replication, etc. are being included on many newer solutions. Who really makes that “brand name” / #1 rated iSCSI or Fibre Channel solution. Call and ask to compare pricing.

As an nationally recognized storage VAR we have direct relationships with all of the manufacturers whose  equipment we use. Hard drives (Seagate, WD), SSDs (Stec, Intel, LSI, OCZ), RAID controllers (HP, Dell-Equallogic-Compellent, Huawei, Apple, Promise, Xyratex, Engenio, Infotrend, Adaptec), Fibre Channel / SAN products (NEC, HP, SUN-STK, Qlogic, Brocade, ATTO, Emulex, ect.), enclosures  (AIC, CID, our own), Enterprise Class RAID (Dell, Apple, EMC, HDS, & Huawei), software (EMC, Nexenta, Carringo, VMware, Sanbolic, StorNext, BakBone, Commvault, Atempo & Symantec), etc..

Our Senior Techs are manufacturer trained to "take 1st call". This  allows us to partake of many  "manufacturer  DIRECT" benefits not  available to most other companies delivering  RAID solutions. Added  to the obvious benefits of price & technical support,  our tech  room is able to lead the way  into new technologies (4-10 Gbit, switched / multi-platform fabrics, native Fibre Channel Tape Libraries, storage  islands,  hot serverLESS backup, iSCSI, etc.), hand in hand with our  vendors, to deliver the  latest in technology.

The perfect VMware certified storage solution.
Add in 4 packs of 15k RPM or SSD hard drives for your VMs and still have plenty of room for your data. These RAIDs can be configured with multiple arrays of different hard drives. The RAID controllers are active-active, come with 8 host ports and you may not need a switch depending on the # of host ports that you require.

We  solve the interoperability issues before we  ship!

Some of our product lines are IT's biggest current news stories. Apple is selling Promise's 4 & 8 Gb Fibre Channel RAID as it's new XRAID2. Qlogic is delivering 16Gb Fibre Channel & 10Gbe iSCSI HBAs, HP & SUN are "private labelling" Quantums's tape libraries AND HDS' enterprise class RAID solutions. Prices of iSCSI D2D backup accelerator appliances have dropped to the price of lower performance NAS and come standard w/ Snapshot & DeDuplication. Huawei, Cisco & IBM have started delivering inexpensive 10Gbe switches that can be used in native, commodity priced 10Gbe iSCSI or FCOE SANs.

Please call for an individual quote or consultation. Our manufacturer trained
sales engineers are able to complete them 
while you wait.
