Introduction If you are a storage expert, you may have heard about these two protocols. But buying new storage arrays may face barriers of selectivity, such as Fibre Channel vs. iSCSI, and determining which is better. Based on their reliability, performance, cost, scalability, and flexibility, we compare the two to help you make an informed decision. Fibre Channel Overview…

QoS has a control mechanism that provides different priorities for different users or different data streams or ensures that the performance of the data stream reaches a certain level according to the requirements of the application.

Introduction Thick provisioning, thin provisioning – These terms have been around for a period of time, but what is the difference between them? Since thick and thin provisioning is often confused with the actual implementation of the storage system. In this blog, we will introduce these terms and discuss the pros and cons of them. Thick Provisioning Overview Thick…

Introduction to Cache Technology Data protection is an important requirement for any storage system. To achieve this, RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a commonly used technology to protect the data stored on the storage system. In addition to RAID, another requirement for the storage systems is high performance. The storage system must be able to access the data as soon as possible. The processors can run thousands of times faster than the disk drives, so the storage system uses…
