Disk Storage from DataSpan

As disk storage costs have gone down over the years, disk-to-disk and disk-to-disk-to-tape backup solutions are becoming more and more popular for their speed, efficiency and reliability. So, what's the right data backup solution for you? Our Data Storage Specialists will help you find that answer. We'll bring clarity to the pros and cons of new technology, and find the right mix of innovation and tradition for your operation.

What are my disk storage options?

DAS

Direct Attached Storage (DAS) is the most basic level of data backup, in which storage devices are directly attached to a server or workstation. While this method of storage has an initial lower cost when compared to Network Attached Storage, if the server experiences any problems, it will directly impact users' ability to store and access data.

Network Attached Storage

Network Attached Storage (NAS) servers are optimized for storing, retrieving and serving files to a large number of users. Compared to general all-purpose serves, NAS servers are smaller, faster, and easier to install and manage. By separating your storage and creating a dedicated server for data delivery, you can reduce traffic bottlenecks and increase data reliability.

SAN

A Storage Area Network (SAN) is a dedicated network that transfers data between servers and storage devices, separate from the local area network. Ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications, the strength of a SAN lies in its ability to move large blocks of data. Learn more about our SAN Management Solutions.

Backup Disk Appliance

Companies continue to move from tape to disk for their data backups, not only for faster performance and improved reliability, but because of the ease of data management.
At DataSpan, we offer sophisticated disk backup solutions that make logistics auditing a breeze.

Magneto-Optical / DVD Library

Smaller businesses looking for a simple and efficient way to manage their DVD libraries often find that a Magneto-Optical solution from DataSpan is the best option. Safely store and protect your optical disks in virtually a digital jukebox for instant data retrieval whenever you need it.

Virtualized Storage

Rather than utilizing separate servers for unique uses, storage virtualization presents a logical space to the user for data storage, while handling the process of mapping it to the actual physical location. This separation takes place virtually, allowing you to maximize space utilization while making data management simpler and faster.

Our Data Storage Specialists can help you plan, implement and manage host-based, device-based and network-based storage virtualization solutions for faster provisioning and improved business continuity.
