DAS, SAN & IP NAS Solutions for Scalable IT Storage

Our process begins with an in-depth consultation and assessment. We take time to understand your performance objectives, storage capacity needs, existing infrastructure, and data lifecycle workflows. This discovery phase ensures the proposed solution supports your business-critical applications, whether on-premise, hybrid, or cloud-based.

We also assess:

• Your current and projected data growth.
• The types of workloads you handle (structured, unstructured, multimedia, etc.).
• Regulatory or compliance needs (such as GDPR, HIPAA).
• Integration with current backup or disaster recovery strategies.

We make sure you understand the pros and cons of each storage solution DAS, NAS, and SAN and help you choose the most appropriate architecture for your environment:

• Direct Attached Storage Solutions (DAS): Ideal for single servers or small-scale environments. DAS offers low latency, direct access, and is often the most affordable solution for businesses that don’t require remote or network-wide data sharing.
• Network Attached Storage (NAS): Best for collaborative work environments or distributed teams. NAS devices offer centralised file sharing, easy scalability, and simple management over IP networks.
• Storage Area Network (SAN): Designed for high-performance and mission-critical applications. SANs use fibre channel or iSCSI protocols for fast, block-level access and are ideal for databases, virtualisation, and ERP systems.

We align your technical requirements with our expert guidance to set you up with the right solution without unnecessary cost or complexity.

Storage needs evolve rapidly, and so should your infrastructure. We create a modular, scalable architecture that grows with your business. From tiered storage and load balancing to redundancy planning and network protocol design, we build systems that are ready for expansion whether that’s more users, new applications, or increased data inflow.

Key considerations in our design phase include:

• Disk types (HDD, SSD, NVMe).
• RAID configuration and fault tolerance.
• Network bandwidth and topology.
• Backup and snapshot frequency.
• Support for virtual machines (VMs) and containerised apps.

Before final implementation, your solution is rigorously tested in a controlled environment. We simulate real-world scenarios to assess system stability, throughput, latency, and overall performance.

By identifying and resolving bottlenecks early, we ensure that your final deployment delivers the expected levels of performance, resilience, and data integrity from day one.

Technology only works when people know how to use it. That’s why we offer comprehensive post-deployment support, including tailored staff training sessions, documentation, and access to our technical support team.

We also provide ongoing monitoring, troubleshooting, and performance optimisation services, so your infrastructure stays efficient and up to date—long after initial deployment.
