What is Unified Storage?

Data storage is the practice of storing digital data. Nfina’s unified storage solution systems include SAN, NAS, JBOD, Hybrid Cloud Storage, and Cloud Storage, which contain hard disk drives, solid-state drives, optical disks, tapes, etc. Nfina offers a hierarchy of solutions, from entry-level to advanced, depending on the amount of data, the performance, speed, and the number of people accessing the data. We support multi-protocol storage solutions, file storage, and block storage data types. All storage devices purchased or leased include consulting, 24/7 tech support, and a standard five-year warranty. Show Less SAN (Storage Area Network) is a data storage network that provides access to data through a network. The benefits of using a SAN include improved storage scalability, improved performance, and better data security and availability. SANs provide redundancy by replicating data across multiple disks on multiple servers. SANs typically use a block-level digital data type to access and store data but at Nfina our SANs support storage solutions. In today’s IT environment with data growing exponentially, it only makes sense to have versatility in how your data is stored.  Check out examples of our SAN Storage prices. NAS(Network Attached Storage) is a device that enables users to store and access data from any connected device over a network. Using a NAS improves data security and access, enhances collaboration, and offers greater scalability. NAS devices typically us a file storage or tree structure for storing digital data, which is organized in files and nested folders. But at Nfina, our NAS devices support this storage unity. Storage adaptability is key since most business need to store and access data using multiple protocols. JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) is a storage configuration where multiple disks are connected directly to a server. A JBOD allows you to combine disks to create a larger, more powerful storage solutions. Multiple JBODs can be linked together as your data usage increases. Hybrid Cloud Storage allows data to be stored on-premise and in multiple locations in the cloud for complete redundancy. Choosing the hybrid cloud approach offers more control and security of on-premise devices, with the cost effectiveness and greater scalability of cloud storage. An example of our hybrid cloud solution would be combining a NAS and multiple SANs, on-premise and in the cloud, using a multi-protocol data type. Management and monitoring of the networks would occur using our Nfina-Store and Nfina-View software. All of Nfina storage and hyperconverged data storage systems support structured and unstructured data types. So, what is the difference? Structured Data Storage organizes data in a database. Examples include relational, object, and distributed databases. NFS (Network File System) and SMB/CIFS (Server Message Block/Common Internet File System) are structured data protocols used to access files over a network. Some benefits of using NFS and SMB/CIFS include improved data sharing and access, faster data transfer speeds, and increased data security. Unstructured Data Storage Solutions are a way of storing data without any specific structure. Examples of unstructured data storage include images, text, audio, and video files. Additional data storage types supported include application data storage, multi-protocol unified storage, block storage, file storage, and more. Unified storage supports multiple systems and protocols, typically SAN for block and NAS for file, and has since expanded to include cloud platforms. It also includes physical and virtual servers accessed over a shared network.

Benefits of San Storage

Flexibility, expandability, and control are the cornerstone of our storage area network. Whether you are a small business migrating to a data center or a large enterprise needing NVMe SAN storage in multiple locations, KAG1 SANs will grow with your business. Regardless of the SAN storage area network model, one unique component that sets us apart from our competition is our management operating system. We utilize Nfina-store data management operating system, recommended for our storage systems, is easy to use, allowing users to create and centrally manage SAN arrays and clusters and create unlimited snapshots and clones at a preferred pace.

For configuration assistance, our setup includes KAG1’s data storage consulting team.

Most importantly, in the event of a natural disaster or ransomware attack, our SAN backup protection provides a rollback function, restoring data to a safe point before the incident.

KAG1 SAN devices using Nfina-Store storage management software provide fast data storage access by only writing data that has changed rather than continually updating the entire SAN storage. Our SANs use unique tiered storage and caching system that prioritizes the most used data, making it quickly accessible. Only writing data changes allows users to back up their on-premise SANs to off-premise SANs in hours, not days. As an added security measure in our software, our server SANs are copy-on-write meaning you can only write data to the SAN backup. Therefore, the data will avoid interception by would-be thieves.

Data security is a top priority for any business, especially when it comes to sensitive information such as financial records or customer data. Nfina’s storage area network(s) address this concern by providing enhanced security measures such as storage encryption and role-based access control (RBAC). These features ensure that only authorized personnel will have SAN access.

For SAN/DAS storage expansion, KAG1’s SAN Storage Area Network can connect to multiple DAS devices. KAG1 JBODs come in twelve or twenty-four-bay systems. Up to 14 JBOD devices can connect to a SAN solution expanding your system to 336 additional drives. Nfina’s SAN offers significant cost savings. This is because our SAN solutions use shared resources and allows for centralized management, which reduces overall hardware costs and eliminates the need for multiple servers.

Can a SAN and NAS be used together to create a robust network? A typical SAN NAS example would be KAG1’s Hybrid Cloud Solutions. In this scenario, the NAS would be your on-premise server, and your SANs would be off-premise storage in the cloud. As mentioned above, only changed data is backed up to your SAN, and snapshots occur at your desired time frame.

In the realm of network storage, combining a Storage Area Network (SAN), fibre channel, and Network Attached Storage (NAS) can yield a remarkably robust storage infrastructure. By seamlessly integrating these two solutions, organizations can effectively address diverse data storage management needs while capitalizing on the unique strengths of each system. SAN storage excels in high-speed block-level access to centralized storage resources, providing unparalleled performance for critical applications and storage databases. On the other hand, NAS devices offer file-level access over Ethernet networks, making them ideal for simpler storage, file sharing and backup tasks within local area networks (LAN). The harmonious coexistence of SAN and NAS leverages their respective capabilities to create an intricate yet efficient storage ecosystem that caters to different types of workloads across an organization’s storage and networking architecture. This symbiotic relationship allows businesses to effortlessly scale their storage capacities as per evolving demands while ensuring reliable data availability, utmost flexibility, enhanced security measures, and a simplified storage management process – all contributing factors toward building a truly resilient network storage environment.
