Qual has a wealth of experience recommending and implementing a wide range of NAS and SAN solutions for corporate, government and education clients.

Working closely with you to design your primary, secondary, and back up storage environments.

NAS – Network Attached Storage

Direct-attached storage works well in environments with an individual server or a limited number of servers, but the situation rapidly becomes unmanageable if there are dozens of servers or significant data growth. Storage for each server must be managed separately and cannot be shared. Performance and scalability are often limited, and storage resources cannot be efficiently allocated. The data management needs of today's SMB and enterprise IT environments are typically much better served by a networked storage approach.

NAS has considerable advantages over direct-attached
storage, including improved scalability, reliability, availability, and performance. This enables your organisation to automate and greatly simplify your data management operations.

FC and IP SAN - Storage Area Network
With the ability of SANs to integrate multiple storage devices and applications, SANs provide many high-availability options for organizations that need to support a wide range of business continuance activities in a cost-efficient manner. The distributed networked approach of SANs addresses the ability to recover data and quickly bring systems back online following a disaster.

Without this level of protection even minutes of downtime can pose significant consequences to many types of organizations. To guard against downtime and to reduce business risk, a SAN solution would eliminate single points of failure, incorporate failover software, streamline data backup and recovery, and enable high-performance mirroring over great distances
Fibre Channel SAN

iSCSI IP SAN
An iSCSI SAN may be the perfect choice for companies interested in making the move from direct-attached to networked storage. Using the same block-level SCSI commands as traditional server-attached storage, iSCSI storage networks are fully compatible with existing server software such as file systems, databases, and applications. Similarly, since iSCSI runs on ubiquitous and familiar IP networks, there is no need to deploy a new networking infrastructure or retrain staff to realize the benefits of a SAN.

SAN and NAS
Solutions

In today’s environment of doing more with less NAS can help you rationalise
and consolidate your file serving with greater performance and protection.

•  Ease of Management
•  Centralised Storage
•  Server Consolidation
•  Performance
•  Fault Tolerance

Unlike direct-attached storage, iSCSI storage solutions
enable you to share storage resources across servers,
easily expand storage capacity without taking critical
applications offline, and consolidate your data protection
processes and operations for improved data availability
at significant administrative cost savings.

The iSCSI protocol was designed with the appropriate
security options to enable the creation of SANs over a wide
range of network topologies—from private IP-based subnets
to data center or departmental local area networks (LANs)
and wide area networks (WANs).
