Simplify the management of your storage systems

Virtual storage technology optimizes your enterprise’s data storage infrastructure while simplifying its management. There is no need to change your storage platform; you can quickly access data stored on any other system. Virtualization also reduces maintenance costs and idle time while enabling the management and protection of the information stored to be automated.

What is it?

IPSA Solutions de Convergencia provides a turnkey solution to manage and optimize massive data storage processes. It is based on Acopia Networks®’s virtual storage technology and offers significant advantages over traditional storage networks.

Under the virtualization paradigm all storage elements act as a single system to be managed and optimized as an entity. Equipment and file system maintenance, recovery, and upgrade operations are simpler and faster, as are back-up copies.

Thus your enterprise will be able to reduce storage management costs, access data more easily, and preserve previous investments.

How does it work?

Virtual data distribution renders the physical location of the information immaterial, since all data storage devices are managed by a single system.

Adaptive Resource Switching® (ARX) technology allows NAS (Network Attached Storage) storage using existing switching and routing .

The result is a unified high availability storage system supporting both NFS and CIFS protocols. Virtualization requires no changes to your company’s storage platforms, as it is compatible with the storage devices of the main manufacturers (EMC, HP, IBM, Microsoft, etc.).

What are the advantages?

The benefits of virtual storage can be summed up as a more effective use of the storage system and a simpler and more automated management system.

• Consolidation: all data storage systems are administrated as a single unified system.
• Performance: optimizes server performance and leverages capabilities and resources underused by the various teams managing the enterprise by defining a balanced load distribution policy.
• Automation: enables the company to perform tasks such as data migrations, new system incorporation or back-ups, automatically.
• Accessibility: information is accessible from any part of your company’s network, regardless of where it is physically located.
• Availability: it is not necessary to interrupt the system to carry out maintenance, upgrade, or data migration tasks.
• Preserves the investment: systems from various manufacturers can coexist and more competitive equipment can be added at any time.
