NAS vs. SANS: Safeguard Your Business From Catastrophic Data Loss

Is Your Business Protected With the Right Data Storage Solution?

It’s a risk every business faces. It arrives without warning. But one thing is for certain. When systems fail, the loss of mission critical business data can be staggering.

Catastrophic Data Loss can occur for variety of reasons. What can you do to defend your company? Simple. Be ready. It is in the best interest of any business to have a Disaster Recover Plan firmly in place. An effective plan should include a proven Data Storage Solution, which provides companies with info-backup in the event of failure. Two of the most effective data storage solutions are NAS and SANS. Each offers powerful protection to a full range of businesses.

NAS or Network Attached Storage consists of both hard disks and specialized software. It is perfectly-suited to smaller businesses seeking an easy and budget-friendly method of attaining speedy data access. Businesses that implement NAS typically see sizable gains in both performance and productivity. High on the list of NAS advantages are its value and user-friendliness. The typical system is a breeze to install, deploy, and manage, even if an IT staff is not on board.

For larger businesses and organizations, SANS or Storage Area Networks offer heroic protection against data failure. One of the high points of SANS is speed. Thanks to a sophisticated, fiber optic-based Fiber Channel, the network sends data zipping like greased lightning through an interconnection of workstations, mainframes, servers, data storage systems and other peripherals, even at long-distances. This makes SANS the perfect choice for banks, health insurance entities, and any other organizations with a large employee population transmitting data round the clock.

Whether SANS or NAS, an effective data storage solution offers businesses large and small proven protection against catastrophic data failure. If you’d like to learn more about benefiting from these important safeguards, we’re ready to help. Orange County Computer  has provided data storage solutions for companies throughout Orange County and beyond since 1998.

Restoring Lost Information With Data Recovery Services

Data Recovery Services to the Rescue

It can happen to the best of us. The reasons are varied – a glitch, a bit of damage, or even forces unknown. But whatever the cause, it usually takes us by surprise. Suddenly, we can’t access the valuable information stored in our computers. And no matter what we try, we just can’t unlock it. Every last kilobyte of precious data is lost somewhere in our system. At this point, we can do one of three things: wish the data back, shift into panic overdrive, or consult a data recovery specialist. Tip of the day: the last choice usually works best.

If you opt for this last solution, you should be aware that there are three levels of data recovery.

Level 1 – Your hard drive is functioning but you still can’t access data. Causes include an accidentally reformatted hard drive, deleted files, or a virus. 90% of recoveries.

Level 2 – A system has locked up or frozen, so technicians have to go a little deeper. 5% of recoveries.

Level 3 – Hard drive is experiencing mechanical failure. Service is required in a clean room. The computer has to be opened up so the hard drive itself can be repaired in order to retrieve lost data. 5% of recoveries.

Hopefully, you’ll never experience the frustration of lost data. But if the issue ever does arise, you can count on Orange County Computer to provide a fast and reliable solution.
