Storage Area Network (SAN) Solutions
Storage Area Network or SAN technology solutions have been around for a few years, and has advanced to incorporate a variety of technological approaches to answer the ever-increasing storage needs of small businesses and enterprise alike.
Storage Area Network is a dedicated storage network intended to optimize “any-to-any” communication between network servers and disk arrays. It allows multiple servers of different types and platforms to access the same storage. SAN’s leverage the high-performance Fibre Channel I/O and consist of a series of hardware and software components.
The conventional approach to collecting, storing and using data for mission critical and critical strategic business purposes is no longer effective. For one thing, storage solutions based on conventional technologies are merely unable to deal with the sheer volume of today’s information explosion. And this data storage capacity predicament is only part of several other storage-related challenges faced by companies that must compete in today’s highly dynamic information economy.
The fast expansion of enterprise-wide applications, Internet transactions and other data-intensive business practices across the spectrum of small to enterprise businesses is also driving organizations to provide their customers with 24x7x365 data availability. In addition, in order to keep eager prospects and customers from looking for alternatives, businesses must provide high data throughput and other valuable key attributes. These key valuable attributes such as performance, together with such key storage issues as Reliability, Scalability, Manageability and Return-on-Investment have led the storage industry to provide a better storage solution – one that offers proven, real-world business benefits.
Drawing from Lapsys Technologies knowledge on Storage Area Network team experiences, we have been able to identify with a range of senerios during deployment and have learnt from these experiences and introduced better and superior leading-edge data storage project solutions.
We are vendor neutral giving us the flexibility to engineer and deliver a solution that is unique to the requirements of our clients featuring the main Storage Area Network solutions categories along with their respective benefits and drawbacks.
These categories include ATA over Ethernet Storage Area Network, Fibre Channel Storage Area Network, and iSCSI Storage Area Network.

Online Data Archiving…”Paperless office environment without unwanted data”
Electronic data, especially email, is now growing in volume at the uncontrollable rate of over 100% per year. Compounding this problem is the fact that 70% of data is stale or inactive within 30 days of creation; yet businesses cannot merely delete data, and must often retain it for legal or audit purposes. This problem results in the never-ending growth in disk systems to store the data, waste of IT resources, unnecessary expenditure and significant challenges of managing critical Exchange email servers and data backups. The impact of this never-ending capacity growth includes: Additional capital expenditure for storage and server upgrades Increased operational costs for the associated space, power and cooling requirements Increased support staff costs in managing the growth in systems and storage Increased backup hardware, software and media costs with longer backup windows impacting application availability, loss or inaccessibility of business critical data.
The Lapsys online data Archiving is a complete and affordable data archiving solution for businesses of all sizes, enabling you to effectively index and preserve all data, enhance operational efficiencies and achieve regulatory compliance needs. Leveraging standard policies and seamless access to your data content is fully indexed and backed up to enable administrators, auditors and end users quick retrieval of any data stored on the archive which is a dependable, managed 24/7 and securely encrypted.
