Evolved IT offers storage solutions
that are reliable, secure and simple to access

IP Based SAN

SAN is a high performance storage solution ideal for mission-critical data and applications. NAS is a storage device, but SAN is a multi-server, multi-storage network with far more storage capacity.

Reduce the expense of a Fibre Channel SAN solution by up to 80% by allowing storage over an internet connection. IP SAN is the way forward for organisations looking for a simpler, cheaper and faster storage solution. It offers the consolidation, scalability, and management advantages of FC-SAN, without the unfamiliarity, complexity, and expense of Fibre Channel.

How it works…

SAN is a storage network. It uses DAS or NAS storage devices to transfer data to multiple servers, which are connected over a local area network (LAN) to computers.

IP SAN is built on the I-SCSI protocol, which uses an Ethernet switch to transfer data.

Features...

IP SAN has all the features of a Fibre Channel solution, including:

• High capacity
• Ideal for mission-critical data and applications, such as image processing, database, web and transaction processing
• Ability to move large volumes of data cross long distances quickly

Benefits...

IP SAN has all the benefits of FC-SAN, including accessibility, performance, utilisation and flexibility but without the cost and complexity of fibre channel. An IP SAN solution also means:

• Lower cost of ownership
• Cost-effective; giving more value by eradicating expensive Fibre Channel
• Speed; fast Ethernet connectivity
• Solid performance
• No distance limitations
• Simple to deploy; more familiar to IT staff
• Scalability; easy to add-on technology
