Distributed NAS - for Businesses with Remote Sites

Multi-Site Storage with Centralized Management and Protection

Businesses with remote locations face unique challenges when it comes to a storage solution. Provisioning multiple sites with storage to meet the local needs of each location, while ensuring that the storage can be managed and protected from a central site, requires a comprehensive approach with a scalable storage solution.

This comprehensive approach includes the following:

• Right-Sized Storage. Avoid buying more storage than you need. Be sure to choose a storage vendor that offers systems in a variety of sizes to fit the specific needs of each of your locations. Their hardware line should include desktop units for remote sites, as well as scalable rackmount systems for the central office.



• Centralized Management. Most businesses cannot afford to have IT resources at every location to manage the local storage. By choosing a storage system with centralized management capabilities, geographically dispersed storage can be administered from a single site.



• Continuous Replication. Regularly-scheduled replication of business-critical information back to the central office is essential to a sound branch office data protection strategy. Data from all locations can be protected with consistent backup and recovery policies.
