Client Solutions

Data Engines | ENSTOR builds solutions that enable you to accomplish three things:
  • Store your data safely
  • Protect your information from loss or corruption AND
  • Keep your business-critical applications running 24x7
Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks are a key enabler for many of our solutions - background information on this technology is available here.

The Availability Pyramid, shown below, provides a blueprint with which you can design uptime into your infrastructure, in order to reach any level of availability that your business demands.

Virtually every product and product feature offered by IT vendors to improve uptime will fit into one of the boxes in the Availability Pyramid. The Pyramid can thus be used to cut through marketing hype and understand exactly what a product offering can do for you and what it can help deliver in terms of uptime.

Backup or Archive? An age old question - after almost 60 years of data storage and backup on electro-magnetic media, people are still confused as to what a "Backup" is and what an "Archive" is. See Tim's blog post explaining the difference. 

Do you "Splunk" ?? It's not a rude question, but it could lead you to some empowering insights into what's happening out there in your multi-vendor, multi-faceted IT infrastructure.
