StorageZone Network Attached Storage System
Robust storage system built for performance and reliability
In the past, storage architecture such as those provided by the computer vendors and data storage vendors are designed for applications with which vast quantity of data in small size are read and write to storage media frequently. Technology developments allow organizations to adopt multimedia applications for improved services and better efficiency. For example, medical practitioners use picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) to file and share medical records and images such as X-rays and ultrasound with remote locations.
Multimedia applications are also flourishing among our daily life. High-speed Internet and wireless network development, together with the widespread of multimedia gadgets like digital camera, mobile phone and personal computer, nourish multimedia applications in our daily life. Every day, hundreds of thousands images, pictures, videos and other multimedia content are created and transmitted over the Internet and wireless networks via applications like “You-Tube”, blogs, IPTV and mobile TV.
While most of the information generated from conventional applications are usually structured and smaller in format, multimedia content are usually less structured and larger in format. These applications demand a new breed of storage solution that can better serve these massive data transactions.
