Storage on Demand – Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Storage Space in the Cloud!
Practical experience supports what quite a few studies by well-known market research institutes (Gartner, IDC …) have found: the need for storage capacities will continue to increase rapidly. For many companies, outsourcing data storage to a data center is an interesting alternative – be it to minimize operating expenses or CAPEX, or to increase data security by using an external location.
Benefits of Next Layer Storage on Demand
- Data storage in three high-end data center locations in Vienna
- Availability in many data center locations in Austria, connected customer sites, or via VPN-tunnel via Internet
- Highest availability through redundancy and cluster technology
- Scalability by easy provisioning of further capacity
- High cost-effectiveness through predictable usage-based pricing
- Brand hardware by NetApp
Storage Tiers
| Storage Tier | Description |
|---|---|
| SATA | SATA disks are slower disks but tend to have high storage density. This tier is ideal for backup and archive. |
| SSD | Solid state disks for the highest performance. |
Supported Protocols and Features
| Protocol | Feature |
|---|---|
| iSCSI | iSCSI is a procedure that enables the use of the SCSI protocol over TCP. |
| NFS and CIFS | NFS refers to the Network file System for Unix and Linux operating systems. CIFS stands for Common Internet File System, is used by the Windows operating system for file sharing and uses the client / server model. |
