Leading storage technologies – 100% availability
The need for data storage continues to escalate as companies try to manage an explosion of data. Replacing outdated applications with enterprise-class throughput technologies, such as data mining and picture archiving, means data storage must rapidly expand to keep up with demand. In response to government and industry regulations, more companies are backing up larger quantities of mission-critical data for protection against data outages.
Enterprises are often forced to spread their infrastructure across unconnected, self-managed data centers or use hosting providers for partial solutions. This creates isolated local storage, separate protection practices, and complex archiving and capacity management that tie up resources and risk data loss.
HOSTING uses leading storage technologies and a fully redundant architecture. Whether it's dedicated servers, on-demand cloud services, or disaster recovery solutions, we will customize a managed storage configuration to ensure business continuity in the event of a system failure. We offer two managed data storage solutions to deliver 100% availability:
