Managed Data Storage as a Service
Storage growth continues unabated, unfortunately data centre capacity doesn’t.
Logicalis offers a flexible Cloud ‘Storage as a Service’ solution to meet the growing demand for scalable, enterprise class storage outside the confines of the internal data centre.
Logicalis Cloud ‘Storage as a Service’ is designed for your specific data or application needs, whether you are using transactional or unstructured data or hosting your Microsoft Exchange or Oracle ERP system in our Tier 3+ Data Centre, Logicalis Cloud ‘Storage as a Service’ is a cost effective, robust and enterprise class alternative to using your own storage systems.
Enabling you to stop buying and start ‘consuming’ storage capacity, you can turn large capital spend, where spare capacity is commonly left unused but still consuming rack space and energy, into a highly efficient operational cost, where capacity is delivered just as you need it.
Our commercial model reflects your ‘capacity over time’ needs and we can provision ‘just enough’ storage as and when required; charged per month per Gbyte.
Why Cloud 'Storage as a Service' from Logicalis makes sense
- You want to move to a new pay as you use ‘capacity over time’ model for all future storage growth.
- Need hosted Disaster Recovery data storage services.
- Are re-locating your existing servers into Logicalis Managed Hosting environment and do not want to bring aging storage arrays with you.
- Already use Logicalis Cloud ‘Compute as a Service’ and want to build a storage environment for your mission critical business applications.
Types of storage / File system support
- Application Storage Units – based on SAS disks for high performance
- Archive Storage Units – based on SATA disks for high density requirements
- Common Internet File System (CIFS), Network File System (NFS) – typically utilised and mounted in Unix style environments & iSCSI – allowing for the provisioning of LUNs over an IP infrastructure
Additional Services
Logicalis can provide you with additional advanced Storage as a Service features:
- SnapShot for backup and recovery within your storage allocation
- Asynchronous Mirror for data replication across NetApp storage arrays
- FlexClone for volume level cloning within your storage allocation
- Backup as a Service
