Solving your storage challenges

Demand for storage space on school networks is increasing by a factor of 4x each year.

Schools and colleges are making increasing use of ICT in teaching and learning. Numbers of computers are growing fast, ICT is now being used across the whole curriculum and users are carrying out more sophisticated tasks.

As the number of files on the network increases, so do there sizes, as students work with multimedia files, presentation software, and graphic rich software. As a result ICT educators face several challenges, the main being maintaining and improving the performance of their ICT given their budgetary limitations, the growth of ICT use and the logistics of data storage and management.

Traditionally as a network reaches its limits the reaction has been to add more servers, or to plug in external storage devices (Network Attached Storage), without addressing the needs of the network as a whole. Both solutions are short-term and expensive, often reduce network performance and introduce underutilised new technology.
