Booting from Highly Available iSCSI LUN with Open-E DSS V6 via Storage Area Network (SAN)

A dynamic increase of data volumes leads to greater hardware requirements and greater power consumption, forcing us to search for new solutions that can reduce costs. Therefore, every chance to significantly reduce hardware power usage costs, cooling demands, and time spent on IT administration is more than welcome. The same goes for every possibility of enhancing new or existing disaster recovery solutions and decreasing the risk of possible data loss. One of the opportunities for easier and more cost-effective data management is booting operating systems from remote iSCSI disks.

NAS - effective storage solution for small business

Even in small business, data are critical resources and the role they play presents special challenges. The fundamental requirements for modern business include fast and secure access to data and their easy management. A good storage solution is an example of technology that can assure those and, as a result, prove very beneficial to your business operations.

Storage for Backup

Computers have become an integral part of our lives as we use them to process a huge amount of very important data. They are not perfect though: hard disks can fail and file-systems can become corrupted. On the top of it, users can accidentally delete files. To effectively protect our data, we should think of implementing an efficient backup solution, based on reliable storage.

Storage for CCTV

Video monitoring has become a common aspect of our lives. It is widely used by companies and administrations for video surveillance, traffic control and the monitoring of industrial processes. Video monitoring implementation solutions may vary. Some of them require complicated network solutions or dedicated devices; others use a public network and work with common hardware. Despite the fact that they differ in underlying technology and appliance, all of them have something in common - the need for reliable and fast high-capacity storage.

Storage for CLOUD

Cloud computing as a way of delivering services over the network becomes more and more popular. Cloud architecture should ensure high availability, scalability and data safety for services operating within its environment. To prepare an effective cloud platform, providers must apply a set of carefully selected components and technologies. Without a doubt, the most important element here is storage.
Storage for cloud must meet the highest standards of quality. Among other criteria, stable operation, satisfying performance and continuous availability are priorities for such solutions.

Storage for High Availability

Failover is an excellent way to implement High Availability. It is a work mode using two Open-E Data Storage Software V6 servers (primary and secondary). The secondary server, which has a full up-to-date copy of the data, takes over as the file server in the event of a primary server failure. The main goal of failover is to protect company server operation by intercepting I/O tasks and replacing the primary data server without interruption.

Storage for virtualization

Virtualization as the process of creating virtual instances of network, storage or operating system, is used to centralize administrative tasks while improving scalability and usage of existing hardware resources. Usually, many virtual machines are created on one set of physical hardware; each of these machines is used by a huge number of users. Virtualization system and storage it uses should ensure high availability, data safety and good performance.
