Data storage systems for IT infrastructure and data centers
Storage for databases, virtualization, backup, archiving, and media content – based on SAN, NAS, object storage, and JBOD solutions.
We'll build a storage system for your applications: from high-performance arrays to scalable archives.We take into account supply and service support restrictions in Russia.
What types of data storage systems are there?
SAN (block storage)
Provides servers with logical disks (LUNs) that they access as local disks, via iSCSI, Fibre Channel, or NVMe-over-Fabric.
For high-performance tasks: databases, virtualization clusters.
NAS (file storage)
Provides access to data via NFS/SMB file protocols as shared network folders.
A resource for offices, project teams, VDI, and unstructured file storage.
Object Storage (S3)
Stores data as objects with metadata and scales horizontally.
For backups, archives, analytical data lakes, and cloud services.
JBOD and disk shelves
Disk sets that attach to servers to create your own scalable systems.
High-density solutions and software-defined systems (SDS).
Where are data storage systems used?
Virtualization and databases
Low latency, high IOPS, and predictable response times for virtual machines and DBMS are critical.
All-flash arrays designed to meet the needs of specific hypervisors.
File storage for offices
Secure access to NFS/SMB shares for document and media collaboration.
For project teams from tens to hundreds of employees.
Backup and Archives
The main focus is capacity, reliability and cost of long-term storage.
Combinations of NAS, object storage and deep storage tiers.
Video surveillance and media content
Stable sequential recording and the ability to expand capacity without interrupting services.
Scalable NAS solutions for large video arrays.
Key parameters when choosing a storage system
Before choosing an array or storage platform, it's a good idea to review the following parameters to avoid common mistakes and budget overruns.
Free consultation
We will help you select a configuration based on your actual loads.
Contact an engineerLoad and access profile
Is random or sequential access predominant, what are the IOPS requirements?
Current capacity and growth (3-5 years)
Account for projected growth to avoid rapid overcrowding.
Performance
IOPS, throughput and latency for mission-critical systems.
Types of media
Combination of SSD/NVMe for hot and HDD for warm and cold data.
Fault tolerance
RAID, replication, clusters and data protection.
Scalability
Compatibility with hypervisors, OS and applications.
Budget and TCO
Accounting for licenses, services, extensions, and energy consumption.
Typical approaches to building a warehouse
SAN array for virtualization
Block storage with Fibre Channel or iSCSI connectivity.
Scalable NAS
File storage with NFS/SMB access for shared folders.
Object Storage (S3)
A solution that scales horizontally as volumes grow.
High-density JBOD solution
Disk shelves with a large number of HDDs connected to servers.
Common mistakes when choosing
Ошибка 1: Недооценка роста объёмов
Storage is quickly filling up, forcing us to urgently expand the system and go beyond our budget.
Ошибка 2: Выбор только по ёмкости
Ignoring performance leads to a drop in IOPS and an increase in latency for the DBMS.
Ошибка 3: Отсутствие стратегии защиты
Without a backup and replication scheme, the risks of downtime and catastrophic data loss increase.
Ошибка 4: Привязка к одному вендору
Closed platforms complicate upgrades, migrations, and licensing negotiations.
What systems do we work with?
We use solutions from leading SAN, NAS, and object array manufacturers. Specific brands are selected for each specific task.
SAN arrays
for databases and virtualization
NAS systems
for files and media
Object storage systems
for backups and archives
JBOD platforms
for custom solutions
How we help with storage projects
We help you assess your current workload, design your target architecture (SAN, NAS, object, or hybrid), and select configurations that fit your budget.
If you already have a technical specification or a current configuration, send it to us – we will offer options for modernization and optimization.
