Storage for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses


Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) have special challenges when it comes to implementing and maintaining storage systems. This guide gives SMBs information on deploying NAS, iSCSI SANs, disk arrays and remote storage services.
NAS
While basic NAS principles are exactly the same regardless of your business size, SMBs have different NAS needs.
Overview, Related information
ISCSI
SMBs have stayed away from SAN implementations in the past because of the expense and complexity, but the introduction of iSCSI has started a shift in SMB storage. This chapter of the SMB storage guide discusses the benefits of iSCSI for SMBs and how to make it work.
Overview
Disk arrays
Disk arrays aren't just for the enterprise anymore, and small and medium-sized business (SMB) users are now taking advantage of the many technologies and capabilities that were once available to only the largest businesses.
Overview, Related information
Remote storage services
The challenge for an SMB is to implement and manage data protection. For SMBs that lack the staff or budget to handle complex data protection in-house, third-party storage services provide a cost-effective alternative.
