Data Centre

In line with our approach of focusing on best in class and offering real depth of expertise, Cisilion have partnered with EqualLogic the market leader in scalable iSCSI Storage Area Networks (SANs).

The growth of company files, e-mail, databases and application data drives a constant need for more storage. Wwith storage directly attached to servers, growth means burdensome storage management and decreased asset utilisation. Storage resources remain trapped behind individual servers, impeding data availability.

Centralised storage and reduced overhead

EqualLogic’s unique peer storage architecture consolidates storage resources into an easy to manage tiered pool, securely accessed by servers across a standard Ethernet network.

EqualLogic’s feature set makes advanced virtualisation and data protection features available and affordable to organisations of all sizes. Automatic system expansion, data protection, and tiering functions minimise administrative tasks even as storage needs grow over time.

Pay-as-you-grow

Bringing additional storage online is truly seamless; additional disk and controller resources are automatically brought online without disrupting applications accessing the storage pool. Performance scales linearly as workloads are automatically load balanced, spreading data across all active disks, arrays and interface ports.

Increased availability

PS Series arrays are built for enterprise deployments, providing 99.999% availability through a fully redundant, hot-pluggable system architecture that minimizes administrative tasks even as storage needs grow over time. Volumes are RAID-protected and through advanced system and disk monitoring, faults can be quickly recognised and addressed without downtime.

Making it work

Cisilion’s SMART Services portfolio provides the resources and skills to access requirements, then define and implement highly cost effective storage solutions for small, medium and enterprise sized organisations.
