What You Get with SAN Storage Solutions
Better Efficiency
SAN employs cutting-edge fibre channel technology to enhance communication between clients and servers. As data transfer speeds increase, work efficiency improves.
High Scalability
In a SAN, the CPU and storage capacity can be scaled independently. Users have the flexibility to expand storage capacity as needed.
Centralized Backup
Data in SAN is centralized. If there’s a disconnection from one server, other servers can stabilize and resume communication.
Secured Data
A SAN ensures high-risk avoidance with functions of mirroring and snapshots. Data security is enhanced because unauthorized users cannot download data directly from the server.
SAN Protocol
Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP)
- Large volumes of information can be transferred quickly through a utilization of fibre channel connection
Internet Small Computer Systems Interface (iSCSI)
- Facilitating data transfers over intranets
- Managing storage over long distances
- Transmitting data over local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), or the Internet
- Enable location-independent data storage retrieval
