MTI is uniquely qualified to assess, design, implement and support complete SAN, NAS and CAS solutions.

Storage Area Networks provide access to consolidated, block-level storage over a dedicated network that connects servers and storage arrays. SAN solutions are based on Fibre Channel (FC) or Gigabit Ethernet (iSCSI) technologies that offer both high-performance and virtually infinite connectivity. Fibre Channel SANs are typically used for large scale storage consolidation and business applications requiring optimized transaction performance and high data transfer rates. Gigabit Ethernet SANs are typically selected for small to mid-sized storage environments where low entry cost, not performance, is the key criteria. Regardless of connectivity, SAN solutions offer advanced features including, point-in-time copy, remote mirroring and redundant components for high availability.

The benefits of SAN include:

• Storage consolidation
• High performance
• High availability
• Easily scalable
• Secure, dedicated storage provisioning

MTI has successfully implemented over 1,000 SAN solutions, from small to large. As an EMC Velocity Signature Partner, MTI’s SAN solution offerings are based on EMC’s Clariion product line.  For detailed information on the EMC Clariion storage systems available through MTI, click here.

NAS

Network Attached Storage consolidates data for high-availability file sharing and collaboration. NAS solutions offer advanced features including point-in-time copy, remote mirroring, redundant components for high availability, and backup integration. NAS is often used for file sharing and collaboration applications such as software development, web serving, and general file storage and retrieval. NAS is generally most appropriate for applications with moderate performance requirements.

The benefits of NAS include:

• Scalability
• File level sharing
• Availability
• Lower cost

Content Addressed Storage provides a scalable, secure storage solution for the cost-effective retention, protection, and disposition of fixed content - including X-rays, MRIs, voice archives, electronic documents, e-mail archives, check images, and CAD/CAM designs. A CAS solution helps organizations meet enterprise governance and stringent regulatory compliance requirements.

The benefits of CAS include:

• Lower total cost of ownership
• Seamless application integration
• Reliability
• Enables regulatory compliance
• Secure access

MTI has successfully implemented numerous CAS solutions, solving client's critical file retention and compliance needs. For detailed information on the EMC Centera Content Addressed Storage Systems available through MTI, click here.
