SMBs face unique challenges. When new servers are purchased, typically they will house several drives. For a SMB with a restrictive budget, this is often viewed as a convenient and low-cost solution for their data storage. However as the organisation grows, this distributed storage strategy leads to wasted data space, duplicated functions, inefficiencies in data protection and availability inconsistencies.
A SMB can take an overburdened internal storage infrastructure to the next level by using the flexible and affordable SAS-based DS3200 Express storage system. The DS3200 combines next-generation SAS technology with time-proven designs for external storage and intuitive management interface to create a fully-featured storage system ideally-suited for the SMB. By moving storage outside the server and sharing storage across several servers, the business can increase the capacity, management efficiency and availability of their data solution.
