Data Storage

If you need to back-up or store a large quantity of data, a Network Attached Storage (NAS) connection into the ControlCircle storage environment could be the best option for you.

This solution is ideal for clients with high volumes of mission critical data and is fully configurable to meet your exact requirements.  Running over copper, this solution will utilise existing switch gear within your environment. 

Running a centralised data repository will allow for consolidation of services from often hugely disparate systems running on internal or Direct Attach Storage (DAS) which is cumbersome to manage.

Based on the NetApp product suite the NAS environment can offer you:

1. Ease of management – trained ControlCircle staff will support the environment including health checks, capacity planning, and administrative changes
2. Terabytes of data storage available with industry leading RAID4-DP resilience and performance
3. Option of hosting across dual data centres for resilience
4. NFS and CIFS protocols available
5. NetApp snapshot capabilities allow for near instantaneous point in time backups and restores
