Comparisons & Standards in Storage Systems
When you need to implement a backup policy, one of the most vital planning decisions you will need to make is that of selecting the medium you will use. This one decision may have far reaching implications. The most foremost thought in the decision process is usually based upon the efficiency, speed, and reliability of your immediate backup needs. But your decision also has other important and sometimes overlooked facets: future compatibility, future availability, and future life expectancy to name but a few.
   
Comprehensive Data Protection Programme (CDPP)
RAID is a means of safeguarding your on-line data. It ensures availability during times when access to the that data is vital. It offers a guarantee against down time and loss of data through mechanical failure by spreading the risk and data across multiple drives and enclosures. However, a RAID storage sub-system must be viewed as part of your complete data protection and backup programme. It is not a replacement for one.

  Important information on our services and products:
 

StorageWorld is a reference for my clients, colleagues in the data storage industry, and end-users (hopefully potential clients) to provide an overview of the range of data storage service offered. There is a wide & diverse network of independent data professionals in the UK providing consultant & engineering services on all aspects of data storage, data network design, project management of data system implementations, and offering vendor-independent advice through either a direct relationship with end clients or through third-party suppliers.

The objective of this site was to use the term 'StorageWorld' as a name to describe an independent group of professional storage colleagues who offered their services directly, or through contracting, to clients, and provides a platform to promote and explain the type of services we provide. It also serves as a contact point for services currently rendered to clients, with restricted sections that we may use as central reference library. Suggestions, comments, contributions, error corrections, or other interest welcome.
