Reading Time-approximately: 3 minutesNAS mirror backup is a useful way to back up data, but comes with challenges, such as cost and data replication frequency. Learn how to navigate the constraints of NAS mirror backup. By Brien Posey NAS mirror backup is a simple and effective technique that synchronizes two NAS appliances and ensures both contain duplicate data. Like any other backup technique,
Reading Time-approximately: 10 minutesNetwork-attached storage (NAS) is dedicated file storage that enables multiple users and heterogeneous client devices to retrieve data from centralized disk capacity. By Ben Lutkevich and Garry Kranz Users on a local area network (LAN) access the shared storage via a standard Ethernet connection. NAS devices typically do not have a keyboard or display and are configured and managed with a browser-based
Reading Time-approximately: 2 minutesScale-out storage is a network-attached storage (NAS) architecture in which the total amount of disk space can be expanded through the addition of devices in connected arrays with their own resources. By TechTarget Contributor In a scale-out system, new hardware can be added and configured as the need arises. When a scale-out system reaches its storage limit, another array can be added to expand the system
Reading Time-approximately: 3 minutesCloud providers now offer NAS compatibility, which gives another option for NAS backup. Know what to expect when exploring NAS backup for cloud options. By John Edwards NAS systems are designed to provide reliable, redundant backup capabilities. As a result, simultaneous storage and backup failures are rare. However, it is not impossible. When a crisis strikes, such as a fire, natural
Reading Time-approximately: 8 minutesOur ninth annual survey collected user feedback regarding the service and reliability of NAS storage systems. By Rich Castagna The bloom may be off the rose for NAS storage systems, which enjoyed a long stretch as the darlings of data storage shops. Over the nine years we’ve been fielding Quality Awards surveys to gauge user satisfaction with storage vendors’ NAS
Reading Time-approximately: 5 minutesAre NAS storage devices a fit for a virtual server environment? We list factors in choosing these devices, and explain their impact on your storage systems. By Eric Siebert What you will learn: We’ll help you determine whether or not network-attached storage (NAS) devices are right for your virtualized server environment. In most cases, NAS performance won’t equal that of a
Reading Time-approximately: < 1 minuteiSER stands for “iSCSI Extensions for RDMA”. It is an extension of the data transfer model of iSCSI, a storage networking standard for TCP/IP. It uses the iSCSI components while taking the advantage of the RDMA protocol suite. By Tekmart Enterprise Support ISER is an RDMA transport for iSCSI, the link protocol could be either Ethernet or InfiniBand at any
Reading Time-approximately: 4 minutesDuring the life cycle of an enterprise storage platform, administrators will likely upgrade that platform a number of times. By: Eric Burgener In defining upgrades, we’re specifically discussing within-system upgrades which include issues like firmware and software upgrades, applying software patches, and various types of hardware upgrades where relevant (e.g. controllers, storage devices, etc.). For storage platforms that host at
Reading Time-approximately: 7 minutesZoning can be set up according to server, storage and SAN switch. Discover what type of zoning to use, how zone sets extend SAN segmentation and about the various zoning schemas. By Simon Gordon and Garry Kranz SAN zoning gains importance once your SAN includes more than a couple dozen devices. During the early days of SAN, there was debate
Reading Time-approximately: 5 minutesComputational and edge storage are changing the way we manage data at the network edge. Understanding the terminology around this technology can help clarify how it works. By Stacey Peterson As more applications generate massive amounts of data — think IoT, AI, analytics — the time taken to transfer, analyze and process that data is becoming a significant factor, slowing
What is COVID-19?
On 31 December 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported a cluster of pneumonia cases in Wuhan City, China. ‘Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2’ (SARS-CoV-2) was confirmed as the causative agent of what we now know as ‘Coronavirus Disease 2019’ (COVID-19). Since then, the virus has spread to more than 100 countries, including South Africa.
