What are the key benefits of storing data in the cloud?
The combination of the current
economic climate and credit market and the challenge of accurately
predicting future storage requirements makes the traditional model
of buying storage ahead of when it is needed tremendously
undesirable. With cloud storage services from Cloudserve, you can
now buy secure, highly scalable storage that can significantly
reduce overall storage costs.

Key technologies
Cloudserve's cloud storage service utilises:
•FTP/NAS Storage
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and Network Attached Storage (NAS)
provide fast, reliable, and cost-effective storage for maximum data
retention.
•iSCSI Storage
iSCSI offers a low-cost alternative
to traditional fibre-channel storage solutions, allowing access to
enterprise-grade Storage Area Network (SAN) storage over Ethernet.
It is easily provisioned, highly scalable (it can be expanded on
demand without human intervention), and outperforms internal
disks.
•Online Backup and Recovery Tool
Cloudserve provides automated, enterprise-class, disk-to-disk
backup of mission-critical data with no downtime.
•Snapshots and Replication
Point-in-time snapshots of iSCSI
volumes can be scheduled, stored locally or remotely and later
accessed to recover lost data or to compare with current data. Data
on iSCSIvolumes can also be automatically replicated to multiple
data.
