STORAGE

# From four drives on a desk to nearly 5 PB in a rack

IOPStor builds storage on ZFS, the file system that checksums every block it stores and repairs what it finds damaged. Share files across the office, give a server capacity of its own, or keep a copy in AWS for the day the building is lost.

## Which one do you need?

### NAS

Storage on the network, shared by everyone. Windows, Mac and Linux machines open the same folders, and virtual machines use it over iSCSI or NFS. For offices, studios and virtualisation.

[NAS](/services/storage/nas)

### DAS

Drives attached straight to one server, with no network in between. The shortest path from disk to application, for a database or an editing workstation that needs capacity of its own.

[DAS](/services/storage/das)

### SAS

The enterprise drive connection: two paths to every drive, hot-swap bays, and dozens of drives on one controller. What dependable servers and storage arrays are built on.

[SAS](/services/storage/sas)

### AWS Integration (DR)

A copy of your data in Amazon S3, kept up to date on a schedule. When fire, flood or ransomware takes the office, the data is still there.

[AWS Integration (DR)](/services/storage/aws-integration-dr)

- **5 PB** — nearly, in a single rack
- **60 bays** — in one 4U chassis, up to 1.3 PB raw
- **3 years** — hardware warranty, unlimited support in year one
- **Zero** — licence renewals or hidden costs

ON EVERY IOPSTOR

## The same protection, whatever the size

- Unlimited snapshots: roll a file, a share or a virtual machine back to any earlier point
- A checksum on every block, and scrubbing that finds and repairs silent damage
- Read and write cache on RAM, SSD or NVMe, with compression and de-duplication
- Hardware agnostic: any component can be replaced with any vendor's
- Priced once: no software licences to renew, no repetitive costs
