Osool Computer Systems SAN services have been developed through combined decades of experience, innovative and highly successful methods, and the highest standards of excellence in the industry.
Every Storage Area Network (SAN) ultimately depends on physical media, and machines eventually break down. When multiple disks in your SAN fail simultaneously, you can lose access to databases, email servers, or any other files that your enterprise depends on. Call our team at +966 53 101 0903 to discuss options today.
Factors That Affect SAN Recovery and Repair
The great strength of a SAN — universal access to shared storage — also produces great vulnerability, even with redundant protections. Multilevel SAN failures prevent access to databases or even boot configuration data for entire operations.
When your SAN fails, turn to the experts at Osool Computer Systems . Our specialists can recover the data from your SAN reliably, and industry-leading turnaround times give you the confidence you need to develop an effective disaster recovery plan.
Despite multiple levels of redundancy and reliable backup systems, SANs still crash, losing crucial data in the process. Common SAN failures result from a variety of faults, including:
Simultaneous Drive Crashes– SAN hard disks are especially vulnerable after stress on the system, which can increase the chances of multiple hard disk failures.
Physical Damage – SAN hardware is as vulnerable to fire, water, and smoke damage as any disk drive. Even in the event of such a catastrophe, it may be possible to restore data from damaged disks.
Independent Hardware Failure – SAN systems include servers, storage media, network switches, and lots of cabling. Physical defects in any of these components can interrupt service, sometimes bringing down the entire system.
Software Corruption – Software utilities control SAN, managing and coordinating the various physical storage devices. Software issues or incompatibilities between applications can trigger system failures.
Make a plan for possible SAN failure. As companies generate more and more data, storage will become increasingly valuable. According to recent market research, SANs will become a leading storage solution for enterprises the world over.
