Traditionally, data storage networks were built using equipment from various manufacturers, providing users with the freedom to choose the best solution on one hand, but making them dependent on different technologies and complicating management on the other.

Data storage system virtualization eliminates the technical specifics of individual devices and can provide a unified virtual storage pool composed of heterogeneous physical data storage devices from different manufacturers. Using a single unified management interface, virtual storage volumes can be easily and conveniently allocated from this pool and presented to host servers as local logical devices.

We offer:

SNT Ukraine offers the following services:

  • Classical data storage system virtualization. Consolidation of scattered heterogeneous data storage systems from different manufacturers within the data center (DC) with the provision of a unified management tool. This solution reduces current expenses for managing DC storage resources that are in operation and simplifies their future scalability, regardless of the specific manufacturer.
  • Advanced data storage virtualization. Equipment located on geographically dispersed sites within the bounds of synchronous replications or in different geographical regions can act as a single virtual storage pool of resources. Within this pool, mobility (data migration) and high availability can be ensured, implementing solutions for high readiness or disaster resilience.
  • Federated storage levels. The virtual pool of storage resources can serve as a separate storage level and be involved in the mechanisms of multi-tiered storage automation. In this case, the "virtualizing" disk array ensures data integrity and extends the functionality of its platform software for the capacity of connected storage systems. It is worth noting that we do not draw a clear boundary between the described solutions. Moreover, their interplay allows us to develop unique solutions that best meet the needs of a specific enterprise.
