Currently, many companies are faced with the task of storing an ever-increasing volume of proprietary data. Data loss or inaccessibility may jeopardize the business and have irreversible ramifications. It is, therefore, evident that the data storage system it one of the most essential components to any modern company’s efficient IT infrastructure.

A storage system is a set of hardware and software tools that allows consolidating all the company data into a single system and enables centralized management of information throughout its lifecycle.

A data storage system includes the following subsystems and components:

  • storage devices (disk arrays, tape libraries); 
  • storage device access infrastructure; 
  • data backup and archiving subsystem;
  • storage management software;
  • storage facility management and monitoring system.

The goals of data storage infrastructure are:

  • centralizing IT infrastructure to ensure better management;
  • reducing total IT costs while increasing the quality of services (SLA);
  • managing growing volumes of data stored on the servers;
  • ensuring adequate application performance;
  • ensuring optimal use of hardware platforms and local storage locations;
  • increasing fault tolerance and ensuring scalability;
  • backing up and archiving data.
