SAN Storage

Get cost-effective SAN storage for high-transaction applications.

Overview

Get the benefits of SAN — with 0 devices to buy or babysit.

SAN Storage is a production-ready storage environment for high-transaction applications. A well-designed SAN can easily withstand multiple component or device failures. But without dedicated storage specialists on staff, maintaining it’s no easy feat.

Ease your storage chores by offloading the care and feeding of your SAN fabric to the experts at Deft.

FAQs

Find answers to frequently asked questions about Deft SAN Storage, a managed service that provides block storage performance more cost-effectively than a DIY approach.

Can my storage be replicated into different regions for geo-redundancy?

Yes, absolutely.

Should I buy private or shared SAN?

Unless you have strict compliance requirements, we recommend using shared SAN until you approach 50-60 TB of storage. At that point, private SAN is actually cheaper.

A private SAN is hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy yourself. With shared SAN, instead of fronting that huge expense, Deft bears the cost of the SAN hardware and you just buy some of the space. Shared SAN provides you with block storage performance at a per-TB consumption rate.

Do I need SAN storage or object storage?

SAN is for demanding, business-critical applications requiring high throughput and IOPS. It’s ideal for applications requiring heavy-duty database access, complete VM system backend disk, live servers, or any services requiring very fast access to data. Object storage is a low-cost platform to store tons of data that you don’t need to access all the time.
