By Antony Adshead Surveillance systems demands huge amounts of storage media. With most surveillance based around image capture, that will always likely be the case. That also means that input/output (I/O)
Reading Time-approximately: 4 minutesPerformance, capacity and data protection features are a few of the many factors SMB organizations should consider in their comparisons of entry-level SANs. By Robert Sheldon Storage area networks are no longer the exclusive domain of large organizations. Many vendors offer entry-level SAN products, hoping to lure customers away from their network-attached or direct-attached storage systems. But SAN products vary significantly in
Reading Time-approximately: 4 minutesTake a deep dive into seven reasons, including performance issues and scalability demands, an SMB would want to ditch NAS in favor of entry-level SAN. By Robert Sheldon Storage area networks were once limited to large organizations with the resources to deploy and maintain these complex systems. Prices have decreased, however, and SANs have become a viable option for small

Reading Time-approximately: 6 minutesIncreasing reliance on cloud storage is changing the way storage area networks are managed and the challenges that SAN admins face in responding to business requirements. By Stephen Engelhardt Data has grown at an unprecedented pace for years, and storage management has had to change to keep up. Industry observers have repeatedly predicted that storage area networks would become obsolete.
Reading Time-approximately: 4 minutesA storage area network (SAN) switch is a device that connects servers and shared pools of storage devices and is dedicated to moving storage traffic. By Robert Sheldon SAN switches make it possible to build vast high-speed storage networks that interconnect thousands of servers accessing petabyte-scale data. At its most basic, a SAN switch manages traffic flow between the servers and storage devices, examining
Reading Time-approximately: 8 minutesAlthough storage virtualization is a term that is used extensively throughout the storageindustry, it can be applied to a wide range of technologies and underlying capabilities. Inreality, most storage devices can technically claim to be virtualized in one form or another. Tekmart Support Team Therefore, we must start by defining the concept of storage virtualization as used in this tutorial.
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.
