With the proliferation of data and the growing regulatory and risk-management requirement to secure, manage and store it effectively, managing your data can be a time-consuming and costly exercise. And you may not necessarily yield the most cost effective balance of technology, architecture and regulatory compliance. </p> <p> Interoute's Storage Connect product takes the proven technical capabilities of its wavelength, SDH, or Ethernet technology platforms and marries them with the protocol requirements of a Storage platform to successfully transport the replication, recovery and archiving of your storage data. </p> <p> The Interoute network supports the key storage protocols of Fibre Channel (FC), FICON, ESCON, SCSI, or iSCSI over Ethernet and SDH to connect your primary site to any number of remote storage facilities. </p> </div> <div id="Overview" class="inactive"> <p> <strong>The networking solution for you - Storage Connect</strong> </p> <p> The permutations and combinations available to you in designing a solution that best fits your data replication, storage/archiving and recovery needs are numerous. By assessing your networking needs, whether green field or legacy system based, we have the networking solution for you. </p> <p> Using the pairing relationship between network technology and storage media we can help you determine the most cost-effective solution for your needs, based on Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO) objectives and data throughput requirements. </p> <p> By using your RPO - that is, how much data loss can be tolerated, and RTO - that is, maximum acceptable time to bring data/application back online, your solution type can be narrowed to several likely solutions. Your preferences will determine: </p> <ol> <li>The minimum data throughput, latency and resiliency required of the network solution; </li> <li>The Storage fabrics & networking options which would be most suitable; </li> </ol> <p> From this, the most cost effective technology solution can be designed, whether synchronous, asynchronous, dedicated or shared storage fabric. </p> </div> <div
