High Availability and Xsan

As your demands outpace the performance and scalability limits of standard file servers, we are ready to implement new technologies that will boost productivity and creativity.

Apple’s Xsan creates a shared workspace for your creative group that is as fast as directly attached hard drives. Storage Space can scale up and down as needed. Xsan has been adopted by clients collaborating on the same set of Image or Video Data from several workstations and servers. Our Xsan admins know what is required to set up a reliable system and to keep it running at peak performance.

Copper Networks can be pushed to impressive speeds by using a combination of TCP jumbo frames and link aggregation. This way, a dedicated file-sharing network can be created using relatively inexpensive switches and network adapters with no software licenses required. Call us to see how your organization could benefit from these technologies.

We can increase the availability of important network resources. This includes systems we have devised and successfully deployed for manual or automatic fail-over of servers. We can create simple dual-server setups that offer redundancy for most points of failure and can achieve true high-availability standards with modest hardware requirements and low monthly overhead.
