Dedicated Storage that Grows with Your Data
A dependable storage solution is the key to your continued success. As your critical data inevitably grows, dedicated storage frees up space on your primary server — especially if you share data across locations or have images, streaming video or backup files — and protects you from accidental data loss.
Hostway offers you a range of customizable entry-level to advanced storage solutions designed to fit your needs exactly. We house your data in our disaster recovery-ready, ultra secure data centers across the globe. You get a dependable, highly available and completely scalable storage environment for your critical data.

Outsourcing Your Primary Storage
Traditionally, managing a hosted primary storage network ‘in-house’ has meant a very significant capital outlay in both hardware and infratructure terms, not to mention the internal skill sets that need to be paid for. New developments such as Storage-On-Demand are opening up new possibilities. More and more businesses are turning to Hostway because we have the right partners, and the right experience to deliver high QoS Storage, but with major cost savings.

Drawing on solutions from industry leading storage provider such as Hitachi Data Systems™ and Pillar Data Systems™, our engineers can design and implement solutions based on gigabit Ethernet NAS or SAN, fully meshed and redundant fiber networks, or clustered solutions that allow for storage virtualisation, bit level replication and mirroring – all within the solution, or also across different sites. In short, there’s not much we can’t handle.

Direct Attached
The DAS system attaches a device directly to your server and is the most economical way to expand your storage. A DAS meets storage requirements for large amounts of static data, like pictures, streaming videos and backup data.

An effective clustering storage solution can be used for load balancing and ensuring high availability of your data and critical applications. Reduce the risk of downtime for better business results with the PowerVault MD3000 modular disk storage array. This direct-attached array is built for high performance two-node clusters. The array includes dual active/active RAID controllers with mirrored cache and multi-path I/O management to help ensure that storage processing continues without disruption.

A SAN Solution is a dedicated storage network designed to meet consolidated storage requirements in a multiserver environment, allowing multiple servers to share data in the SAN network instead of taking a costly hit on performance. Leveraging EMC AX150 flexible connectivity options in combination with an FC Switch or an Ethernet switch, this solution can provide high performance FC-SAN or cost effective IP-SAN, and up to 10 network-connected or fabric-connected servers.

A Fiber Channel Clustering Solution is similar to a clustering solution, but the servers communicate with the disk array through advanced Fiber Channel Protocol. The dual-controller Dell/EMC AX150 option provides high availability storage for two host clusters. Dual active storage processors, mirrored cache, N+1 redundancy cooling modules and dual hot-swappable power supplies deliver no-single-point-of-failure availability and end-to-end data protection to support business-critical applications. It provides superior application performance with front end host connectivity and improved I/O performance of SATA II disk drive technology.
