Storage Area Network
Discover the Flexibility of a Storage Area Network
Storage area networks (SANs) enable low-latency, high-bandwidth connections to your data. If you're looking for a long-term, customized storage solution that you won't easily outgrow, SAN is a good option. Begin with as little as 250GB and add capacity as you need it. We monitor your systems 24x7x365 and offer a 6-Hour Hardware Replacement Guarantee.
We offer two fully managed SAN choices: Shared SAN (sSAN) and dedicated SAN (dSAN). Both support block-access storage protocols, while dSAN offers an option for Unified to add CIFS and NFS file-level access. Choose from various storage models, depending on your performance requirements and capacity needs.
