Improving Scalability, Manageability, and Performance for Network-Attached Storage (NAS) Solutions
Click here to download now
(0)Overview: No one disputes the theoretical advantages of network attached
storage (NAS) compared to direct-attached storage.
The inefficiencies involved with multiple, separate data storage
platforms can be greatly improved with an alternative NAS
solution. Scalability, availability, and performance can also be
enhanced with the currently available NAS platforms. However,
many NAS solutions introduce complexities and hidden costs.
The expertise required to effectively deploy and manage some
NAS products can require adding IT specialists to the team,
and can introduce administration and monitoring tasks that
raise the total cost of ownership. For these reasons, NAS has
been deemed too expensive by some organizations that could
otherwise benefit from the inherent advantages such as simplified
data sharing and increased data access performance.
You don't have to sacrifice scalability, manageability or performance to get the benefits of Network Attached Storage. Download this White Paper to learn how the SGI® InfiniteStorage® NEXIS family combines the simplicity of NAS with the power and speed you need to manage increasing data demands.
