What Is Data Storage Management?
Data storage management deals with finding the most reliable and cost effective way to classify, protect, and retain the information that is the lifeline of your organization.
Storage Virtualization
Storage Virtualization combines multiple network storage devices into what appears to be a single storage device. It is generally implemented through software applications and is commonly used in SAN. Virtualization can reduce the time spent on backup, archiving and recovery by automating these tasks and disguising the complexity of the SAN.
Benefits of an Effective Data Storage Strategy:
- Simplified Management
- Improved Infrastructure Utilization
- Effective Disaster Recovery
- Quicker access to critical data from multiple users
- Faster and easier data back-up
- Compliance with regulations on data retention and retrieval
Storage Solutions Components
Solid data storage solutions include both hardware and software components and is dependent on your system resources being used in an optimal fashion.
Software Components
- Backup software – enables users to recapture lost, deleted, or corrupted data quickly and effectively.
- Archiving software – used in conjunction with backup software, archiving can help improve your backup and recovery.
- Disaster Recovery software - designed to restore system data in the event of hardware failure.
- Replication software – copies the data on servers and stores entire copies of systems or servers in case of a disaster.
Hardware Components
- Network Attached Storage (NAS) – best suited to small and medium organizations with lots of server and print servers and archive data.
- Storage Area Networks (SANs) – geared toward organizations running high-performance applications and those needing to consolidate storage from a variety of servers.
