What is Data Center Automation?

Mar 25, 2024 | enterprisestorageforum.com | Drew Robb |eSecurity Planet

Data centers can occupy more than a million square feet of space filled with racks of powerful hardware served by massive cooling and power management systems, and yet they’re staffed by a surprisingly small number of people.
10 Best NAS Cloud Backup Solutions for 2023

Mar 1, 2024 | enterprisestorageforum.com | Leon Yen

Today’s network attached storage (NAS) devices offer myriad capabilities beyond data storage and retrieval—and, when coupled with a NAS cloud backup option, can provide enterprises with unprecedented levels of digital resilience for their data. With a wide range of solutions on the market, enterprises can pick and choose the right NAS cloud backup for their needs.
6 Best Data Storage Solutions and Software for 2023

Jan 5, 2024 | enterprisestorageforum.com | Jenna Phipps |eSecurity Planet

Data storage solutions comprise a range of business-grade products for safely holding large volumes of data for archiving or to support critical applications and analytics. While the data storage landscape used to be relatively simple, the current market is full of myriad options from a diversity of storage types, including network attached storage (NAS) and storage area network (SAN) devices, flash arrays, and cloud products.
15 Software Defined Storage Best Practices

Dec 29, 2023 | enterprisestorageforum.com | Drew Robb |eSecurity Planet

Software defined storage (SDS) is an architecture designed to decouple storage software from proprietary hardware. It offers a set of software capabilities to automatically manage data both locally and globally, providing breakthrough speed in data access, easier administration, and the ability to scale technology infrastructures quickly and more cost-effectively as data volumes expand. These advances can work with any company’s storage systems to provide automated and virtualized storage.

What Is Hyperconverged Storage? Uses & Benefits

Nov 22, 2023 | enterprisestorageforum.com | Drew Robb |eSecurity Planet

Hyperconverged storage uses software defined methodologies to virtualize data storage alongside compute and networking functions in a single system. Through virtualization, hyperconverged storage makes far more flexible pools of storage available compared to storage tethered to a specific piece of hardware, such as a networked attached storage device or disk/flash array.
Best Enterprise Hard Drives for 2023

Nov 17, 2023 | enterprisestorageforum.com | Leon Yen

Enterprise hard drives provide the necessary reliability, performance, and capacity for mission-critical, continuously demanding applications in an organization’s data storage infrastructure. In contrast to the general purpose hard disk drives employed in a wide array of use cases and environments, enterprise drives are designed to meet the high-capacity, high-speed, high-reliable needs of modern business data storage and access.
What Is Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP)

Nov 16, 2023 | enterprisestorageforum.com | Drew Robb |eSecurity Planet

Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) is a technology that links Fibre Channel-based storage area networks and extends them over large distances. FCIP comprises multiple transport technologies optimized for storage data movement, and uses the internet protocol (IP) to move data across a wide area network.
What Is Fibre Channel?

Nov 14, 2023 | enterprisestorageforum.com | Drew Robb |eSecurity Planet

Fibre Channel is a high-speed data transfer technology designed to connect computers to storage devices. It delivers the block data—data divided into equal sized blocks to optimize storage and retrieval speeds—between the servers and shared storage arrays that form the foundation of storage area networks (SANs). Because many enterprise applications require data to be fed to them rapidly, the speed with which data can be written to and read from storage has become increasingly important.
What Is Converged Storage? Uses & Benefits

Nov 9, 2023 | enterprisestorageforum.com | Anina Ot |other topics. Anina

Converged storage is a hardware-based approach to unified storage that combines computing, storage, and networking resources into a single optimized infrastructure. Traditional data center infrastructure uses dedicated servers, network switches, and storage arrays that need to be provisioned to support increased or decreased server loads. Converged storage combines all of these components into a single unified infrastructure that increases resource utilization in parallel with demands.
