Top Criteria Organisations Should Consider When Purchasing New Storage Hardware According to Nexsan

Selecting storage hardware for today’s data-driven organisations does not need to be a painful experience, according to experts at Nexsan®, the pioneer of highly reliable, cost-effective storage. Those contemplating a storage refresh or the purchase of new storage hardware in 2024 should look for solutions that provide:

• Scalability – Scalable storage can meet an organization’s changing capacity needs over time and maximize performance to handle increasingly demanding workloads. Whether scaling up or scaling out, a storage hardware platform that can expand is imperative to the success of a growing organization.
• Reliability – A durable solution that will last an organization for years – or even decades – is critical. Storage with a proven track record of enterprise reliability is a great choice for data center environments of any kind.
• Density – Storage solutions that are ultra-dense and super-efficient enable organizations to shrink their storage footprints, save on power and spend less time managing the system and more time on improving the business.
• Utility – Storage systems are built for specific use cases and/or to satisfy particular business demands. Choose storage that delivers for a particular application need, such as inexpensive archive, security and compliance, or high performance for write-intensive workloads.
• Connectivity – A storage system connects to your network and any cloud resources that make up your infrastructure are always accessible. The storage system should have the necessary connectivity and protocols – whether via SAS, Fibre Channel, or iSCSI; file, block, object/S3 – to provide quick and reliable access to data wherever it resides.
• Support the Latest Technologies – Newer features like immutable snapshots and immutable backup for ransomware protection, make today’s storage systems even more resilient, secure, and adaptable to evolving cyber threats, enhancing data integrity and reliability in dynamic IT landscapes.

“Because data is what powers your organization, you need to implement storage solutions that provide the scalability, reliability, density, utility, connectivity, and ability to support the latest technologies for immutability to keep your company ahead of the curve,” said Andy Hill, Executive Vice President. “Whether you are looking to implement all-flash, unified storage, file, block or secure, immutable storage to meet your needs, seek out a company like Nexsan that provides reliable, quality hardware that will save you the time, money and headaches traditionally associated with storage management.”

Nexsan systems meet the ongoing need to maintain large data stores in on-premises storage hardware—a need that persists despite the advent of cloud computing, and now grows more pressing as organizations face increasing cloud costs. Nexsan channel partners excel at developing systems that address essential functions like high-performance data processing, bulletproof backup and archive, cybersecurity, and digital video.
