Storage solutions

There are four main types of media available for your system. The Storage solutions topic collection provides information to help you decide which form of media is best for your environment. It includes information about planing, installing, configuring, maintaining, using, and troubleshooting.

As your company produces a greater volume of information, and as the value of that information grows, the methods you use to protect and preserve it become vital corporate strategies. Storage has gone from being a feature of a system to being an entity unto itself.

It performs several valuable functions within your enterprise, including the following:

Availability

Your storage solution must enable you to access your data when you need it, without exception. In some settings, such as a hospital, access to data can mean the difference between life and death.

Integrity

Your data must be in exactly the same condition when it returns to you as it was when it was stored. That means it must be safe from corruption, loss, and outside attack.

Recoverability

Your storage solution should ensure that you can recover your data in the event of a natural disaster, such as a fire, flood, or tornado.
