Network Attached Storage
Network Attached Storage (NAS) remains the most cost-effective method of managing file-based storage. MDI’s wide range of NAS models provide a variety of performance, capacity, and availability options. Express Stor NAS systems can be configured from 500 GB to 128 TB in usable capacity. Utilizing Windows Storage Server 2003 R2, up to 64 TB can be designated as a single logical volume. Most Express Stor systems are easily expandable, protecting your initial investment for a long system lifecycle.
NAS systems are easy to install and simple to administer via your web browser. MDI's Windows Storage Server based solutions have been tested with numerous popular backup, replication, and archiving software packages. This results in a low implementation cost as an Express Stor will be compatible with your existing data management software. The performance of an Express Stor NAS is approximately 20% greater than a comparably configured file server by streamlining the operating system to support file service as opposed to general purpose applications.
Express Stor NAS systems are effective solutions for:
- Consolidation of File Servers
- Storage of files for imaging and fixed content applications
- Engineering and design drawings and documentation
- Repository for rich-media application objects
- Disk-to-disk backup
- Archiving of files from more expensive SAN products
MDI Express Stor solutions are designed to be the focal point for the data protection strategy for an application or an entire organization. In addition to the Write Once feature of the Compliance Edition, MDI appliances can also provide iSCSI support enabling the system to be a Unified Storage Solution, supporting both NAS and IP-SAN functionality. Fully compatible and tested with a wide variety of backup and replication options, Express Stor can be configured to bring ease of use and simplicity of data management to many storage environments.
