RAID , ' DON’T GAMBLE WITH YOUR DATA'
• NO DATA LOST
• NO SYSTEM DOWNTIME
• MINIMAL COST FOR THE ENTRY LEVEL RAID
It is far more cost effective if you have a good backup strategy in place!
THE QUESTION IS NOT IF A HARD DRIVE WILL FAIL BUT WHEN A HARD DRIVE WILL FAIL.
A Server/RAID solution should be considered, as a means of safety for your company downtime due to the fault tolerant technology.
RAID is a mature technology that speeds up data access while at the same time protecting data from hard disk failure.
It is quickly becoming a necessary component of every company’s IT set-up, since data loss and downtime can prove fatal and financially destructive. Losing access to important business data can costs companies fortunes and in the most extreme circumstances can of course lose clients.
The cost of a RAID system must be compared to the cost of the data loss, data recovery and the interruption of availability that would result if a RAID were not used. For the majority of companies the entire cost of a RAID system pays for itself the first time it prevents one of their systems from having to be taken down for half a day to deal with a hardware failure.
Anyone who has experienced the problem of having a hard disk crash on them will understand the horror of realizing their valuable data has been lost. And if no external backup has been taken that consequence could be catastrophic to a business.
Today’s efficient business cannot afford to have a system go down and lose access to their important electronic data in the event of a hard disk failure.
RAID offers a wealth of significant advantages, including: -
• High Data Security
• Fault Tolerance
• Improved availability of data
• Increased Capacity – Scalability.
RAID systems are affordable; compact and expendable, designed to meet the needs of near line storage, data reference and data archival providing unprecedented performance, reliability and expansion.
