Enterprise Class Storage

 with iSCSI, IP Storage, NAS, SAN, or DAS using  SATA RAID, IDE-SCSI, SCSI-SCSI and Fibre Channel  RAID or disk array based storage systems and, subsystems can be all headache and expensive to IT or storage neophytes who are delving into storage technology to implement Enterprise class storage, or expand their existing storage installations for their firm or customers. Sough ting out what appliances to deploy can be a nightmare, not to mention the difficult task selecting equipment and vendors, and, implementing the installation and maintenance challenges involved.

    Fortunately, Cepoint Networks' Storage central  is here to assist and help. The first step is to consider the organization's ILM (Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) data management  strategy. The purpose of  ILM is to ensure that  information flow, management, retention, retrieval and utilization process is optimized to achieve an

organization's business objectives, and at the same time guarantee that appropriate regulatory compliance is met,

in face of challenging competition, changing economy and business strategies without breaking the organization's IT back and pocket. Remote data access, Bare-metal Replication, Disk-to-Disk, Disk-to-Tape and Multi-user access options

Advanced Raid Management.     LOW Starting Price from $499   

•  Java-based GUI (Graphical Management Utility

• Remote configuration, monitoring and notification

• Support for many Operating Systems: Windows, Linux, SCO, Solatis, Netware

• Data  stored on appropriate storage  medium through every stage in the lifecycle  (from the data's creation to its deletion) based on  the data's value, and accessibility requirements, without question is the backbone of information management process.

This process ensures an organization's information assets can be managed across storage mediums as primary or secondary disk systems and tape or D2D (disk-to-disk) back-up to optimize resource utilization and cost efficiency, thus enabling end users to transparently leverage the best-performing storage device based on their data access needs. There are five primary                                                                                  

factors necessary to consider when investing in  enterprise storage resources:

Advantages of CSG Raid Storage Solutions:

Compatibility with your current and future IT infrastructures and investments regardless of  computing department,  location or application

Reliability. The storage resources should function or perform reliably without compromising performance or security as our storage solutions.

 Security. Remote Data access and replication across  the storage platform should be secure  regardless of whatever switching fabric or channel of data and information flow across the enterprise. Whether via intra-net GigLAN, Fibre-Channel, internet or WAN, it is important to guard and ensure there is no security compromise.

Cost Saving. Our RAID solutions offers the best cost saving in the industry. One critical fact most people do not realize is that investing on enterprise storage resources that is adequate for your current, and, future growth for business continuity is not determined by how much dollar amount spent with big name storage manufacturers, but how smart and wise your dollar volume is spent to achieve your object, regardless of how popular or large the vendor. After all you are paying more for the "big name brand" and "proprietary" rope being tied around your neck in order to limit your options.

 Easy to use: Regardless of equipment invested on,  there should be no drastic and long winding learning cover on how you or your IT staff and customers can adapt to your new investment. The entire process should be smooth, easy to master and no learning curve. In other words, your storage systems should be a plug-n-play device so your IT staff or customers can easily start deploying your systems immediately upon opening the box.

   Analysis. Finally, can the benefits of your investing, or integrating or deploying a vendor's product into your process and, TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) outweigh the initial cost and expenses in the long run? For example; doesn't make sense spending $5,000 on a cheap, but unreliable vendor's system or $25,000 on an expensive but complex to manage vendor's system and end up spending $50,000 integrating it into your process, not to mention the headaches, loss of business time and unwarranted costs involved? The TCO must be reduced to justify any such investments.

Now with most important facts briefly stated, an easier decision can be made going with a vendor whose products is less expensive, easier to integrate and easier to manage. Cepoint's industrial storage systems are Plug-N-Play and the company is always ready to assist you in configuring and installing your next storage.
