Storage Area Networks
Storage is more than the physical disk devices connected to your servers. Without the analysis to define what your company's data storage requirements are, these tools are little more than infrastructure. When we talk to you about storing your data, we are really concerned with management of your data. Efficient data management will benefit your company in many ways, not least through the rationalization of corporate data and the staff needed to manage it, enhanced storage utilization, and centralized storage management.
Cost effective
OnX can help your organization to make the transition from a traditional Direct Attached Storage (DAS) model to a more cost effective Networked - Based Storage solution (NAS,SAN). The benefits to this migration are derived from a shared storage pool - lower costs and greatly improved utilization of systems and personnel. A SAN, by reducing the number of file servers, immediately reduces your capital and operating costs, at the same time as it improves the efficiency of the overall management of your data. According to a McKinsey & Merrill Lynch report, "with DAS. people costs scale with capacity; with Networked Storage, people costs scale per storage device."
