Storage Architecture Before Hardware

The correct storage server depends on workload, capacity, performance, network design, backup policy, and recovery expectations.

Workload Review

We look at what the storage will support: virtualization, backup, video surveillance, application data, file services, database workloads, or disaster recovery.

Hardware Design

Drive type, RAID level, controller, chassis, expansion, networking, redundancy, and serviceability must match the job.

Remote Strategy

When remote storage is needed, we consider bandwidth, retention, replication, security, recovery time, and site-to-site access.
