Business Continuance

As business transactions around the world increase in speed and quantity, the amount of data that must be kept continually available increases along with them. Reliable data protection is critical to a healthy bottom line. Even day-to-day problems like server failures, smoke or water damage, and human error can lead to devastating data loss.

Easy to deploy and maintain, LeftHand SANs ensure that your crucial business data remains available. Our NSM storage systems provide unique double fault protection within each node and across the entire SAN, reducing your vulnerability without driving up costs the way traditional SANs can.

To achieve the scalability required for such rapidly growing databases, a storage network solution must be pro-active and automated, able to scale at the first signs of growth, and LeftHand SANs are ready. No matter what size SAN you choose to deploy, our patented architecture allows you to create the right data protection solution for your company today, and develop your SAN in any way that makes sense for your business.

• Double Fault Data Protection. Many storage systems provide protection against the failure of a single disk. LeftHand takes data protection a step further. A LeftHand SAN can sustain two faults to a RAID group or storage pool without loss of data.
• Protection Against System Failures. Even with double fault protection, controller, backplanes, power, and network connections can cause entire systems to fail. NSM storage nodes are fully equipped storage systems, providing you with the redundancy you need in case one system fails.
• Easy, Reliable Data Storage. A LeftHand SAN simplifies recovery procedures to eliminate failures caused by the complex manual operations required in traditional disaster recovery solutions.

With a LeftHand iSCSI SAN, you have unmatched flexibility and a rapid return on your investment. Our solutions provide you with a choice of SAN platforms, allowing you to select the right capacity and performance functionality for each environment you maintain. And NSM storage nodes can be distributed within a building or across a campus using standard Gigabit Ethernet networks, providing high availability without the costly duplicate storage network used in many legacy environments.
