Servers & Storage

What is Servers and Storage?

Servers run the applications, databases, file shares and services a business depends on, while storage systems hold the data those services use. NAS (network-attached storage) shares files over the network; SAN (storage area network) presents block storage to servers for demanding workloads such as virtualisation and databases.

Why it matters

Choosing the right mix of physical and virtual servers and storage affects how quickly applications respond, how easily the environment can grow, and how well it copes with a hardware failure.
