Over the years we have seen disk storage allotments increase dramatically with Web hosting plans. About 9 years ago a large shared hosting provider had a “leading storage allotment” of 150MB on their $19.95 plan. Back then 7,000MB of storage hardware would cost $60,000! With the digital revolution (audio, video, and images), the increasing size of databases and compliance needs driving record/log storage, many companies are in a situation where demand is beginning to outpace supply.
NaviSite Dedicated Hosting solutions can be configured with several different technologies to increase the storage available. Options include scalable SAN (Storage Area Network) solutions available with Virtual Dedicated Servers The SAN solution provides enterprise class redundancy on hardware valued at hundreds of thousands.
Our Dedicated Servers, are available with additional local storage options as well. All of our hard drives are Seagate server grade drives and are either SATA or SAS based. Depending on the server additional storage options include 500GB drives and up-to six 146GB SAS drives which spin at 10,000 RPM.
NaviSite’s Managed Dedicated Servers also include an option for NAS (Network Attached Storage), which we can easily scale to 4,000GB.NAS is a great option, as both Linux and Windows “see” the storage as an additional drive letter. NaviSite’s NAS storage is built on hardware from HP and supports: NFS, FTP and HTTP and more. It’s a great solution with an incredible amount of flexibility.
Recently we met with a customer who we are implementing a solution for and it was great to see how well they planned for future storage needs. Customers are finding a NaviSite Managed Virtual Dedicated Server with SAN storage or a Managed Dedicated Server with NAS storage options as affordable and flexible enough to meet their disk based online storage needs for today and tomorrow.
