Taking an intelligent approach to data storage
Taking an intelligent approach to data storage is central to the success of enterprise-class storage solutions. Intelligent data storage considers aspects such as where data resides, how it is stored, how it moves around, how it is managed, what use is made of it and most importantly how it is protected. Avnet's approach to intelligent data storage has been classified into four branches:/p>
Data storage - where data resides and establishing the specific needs of every customer in terms of:
- Storage Area Networks (SAN)
- Network Attached Storage (NAS)
- Backup
- Archive
Data connectivity - infrastructure providing access to data. What standards to adopt and which technology to use:
- Fibre Channel
- iSCSI
- Infiniband
- 10GB Ethernet
- FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet)
Data management - technologies and solutions to deliver cost effective and efficient management of stored data. Data management includes:
- Storage virtualisation
- File Area Networks (FAN)
- Content Addressed Storage (CAS)
- Backup verification
- De-duplication
- Migration
- Storage policy and firewall
Data security - an important and often overlooked final component of any intelligent data storage solutions approach. Security of data needs to be considered, while data is both at rest and in transit:
- Encryption - data at rest and in transit
- Backup management
- Backup verification
- Data replication
Using this model, Avnet's sales and technical teams make it easy and painless for Business Partners to sell sophisticated enterprise storage solutions to their customers.
