Server and NAS devices
Servers come in different shapes and sizes based on application needs, access speeds and cost.A number of leading hardware manufacturers such as Hewlett Packard, Dell, and IBM have a comprehensive range of servers to choose from as well as similar more cost effective servers being wildly available from other sources.
It is crucial to understand that not all servers are alike in terms of quality and reliability. Server operating system can also come in a number of different types basically the two most common are Microsoft Windows based or Unix/Linux with VM (Virtual Machine) software able to hold multiple operating system at the same time starting to make inroads - each system has its own benefits.
Machines come in different configuration and subsystems Check Your Security (CYS) can work with all major brands and operating systems in implementing their security and IP based CCTV and Access Control solutions.
CYS understands that besides servers, there is at times and in some applications the need for large amounts of disc storage especially when CCTV and megapixel cameras in particular are utilised.
In this case the most cost effective solution is to provide a NAS -Network Addressable Storage device of some sorts.
NAS units can offer substantial cost effective storage the Snap server 620 a product that CYS supply and support for example can address 88 terabytes per device utilising lower cost SATA drives for archiving to reduce overall cost per terabyte of the system.
Whether you are looking at SAN(storage addressable network), DAS(direct attached storage) or NAS we look at the most cost effective solution to a particular problem or application.
