Storage

The storage solutions proposed by Systemat are appropriate for all the needs of your company, from the backup of your data, to sharing them on your network. These solutions are also a natural addition to virtualisation.

The storage of data is an essential part of your computer system and a natural addition to virtualisation. Systemat offers different solutions in several fields:

Distribution of data

Like blood in the body, data circulate through your network continuously between storage units and the terminals of your employees. The choice of the most appropriate technology for such exchanges depends on your business requirements and your budget:

• SAN (Storage Area Network) via Fibre Channel for large, complex, ultra-fat exchanges
• NAS (Network Attached Storage) on IP network via SCSI, Ethernet or Fibre Channel
• DAS (Direct Attached Storage) where the hard disk is connected directly to your machine, via a USB or FireWire connection

Security of your network

In order to guarantee the continuity of your activities even in the event of an incident, the choice of an appropriate storage system ensures that your data are retrieved quickly and that an efficient DRP (Disaster Recovery Plan) is drafted.

An advanced backup system

Your data are valuable: regular backup is possible provided that you have well designed storage solutions, which provide for the back-up of data to hard disk or magnetic tape.

The best choice on the market

Systemat uses the best in the field of the storage of data. Choose IBM, HP, EMC or DELL: you will find the equipment most appropriate to your needs, in all price ranges, with the guarantee of optimum reliability.

Solutions for your reality

Whatever your activities, Systemat offers a tailor-made storage solution, from the simplest to the most advanced. From USB hard disks connected to your network (DAS) to very high speed SAN in Fiber Channel mode for communication with your storage infrastructure.

The ever-increasing virtualisation of data centers goes together with the continuous improvement of storage systems. Back-up, dynamic allocation of space, security: these are the key for constantly changing technology.

De-duplication to free up space

This smart system avoids duplication during the storage of several virtual machines. For example, the blocks common to two OS are only stored on disk once, which saves a considerable amount of space.

Snapshots as a safety net

Rather than backup all the data on a server – which blocks your applications during the process – take an instantaneous "snapshot" of your server to capture your data at a given time and return to easily, when necessary. This snapshot is a time machine in the world of computing!

Thin-provisioning, the intelligent management of space

This function is used for the dynamic allocation of the storage space used by an application. This enables us to use only those resources which are really necessary and make better use of the storage space available.

High level availability: redundancy

The principle of redundancy ensures a high level of availability of your data, thanks particularly to the clustering of your hard disks.

Exponential performances

The latest storage technologies given every faster access to information. The future lies in SSD (solid state drives), which have two main advantages: very high speed and great reliability, thanks to the absence of potential defective moving parts. This new technology also has the advantage compactness and very low consumption of electricity.

Systemat uses the best specialists in the field of storage: EMC, HP, IBM, DELL and SYMANTEC for its professional backup solutions.
