Synchronous Replication vs. Aynchronous Replication

Pure Storage

JUNE 2, 2022

Asynchronous replication, on the other hand, is mainly used for data backups. . Synchronous replication is not typically used in network attached storage (NAS) unless the NAS device can also function as block-based storage for those high-end transactional applications. What Is Synchronous Replication?

SSD vs. HDD Speeds: What’s the Difference?

Pure Storage

JANUARY 4, 2022

SSDs aren’t typically used for long-term backups, so they’re built for both but are typically used in speed-driven applications. Also, HDDs can hold more data currently, so they’re preferred for long-term storage with fewer reads, such as storage reservoirs for disaster recovery and backups. An HDD is much more fragile than an SSD.

SSHD vs. SSD: Is Hybrid Storage Still Worth It?

Pure Storage

SEPTEMBER 13, 2023

by Pure Storage Blog When solid state hybrid drives (SSHDs) first hit the markets in the early 2000s, they were priced competitively between cheap hard disk drives (HDDs) and performant solid state drives (SSDs), giving consumers a happy compromise between the two technologies.

It’s having a profound effect on backup infrastructure and processes. In the old days, backup was done once a day onto tape, which was then physically transported to an offsite facility somewhere. Veeam Software is known not only for its world-class backup, recovery and data management software. The 3-2-1-0 Model.

The three primary options for enterprise data storage systems are direct-attached storage (DAS), network-attached storage (NAS), and storage area networks (SANs). SANs can quickly transfer multiple I/O streams between VMs and virtualization hosts, making them better suited than NAS for virtualized environments. . Where Do You Use NAS?

When to Use a RAID as Your NAS

Pure Storage

APRIL 6, 2022

When you’re looking into backup and storage options, you’ll come across a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) and network attached storage (NAS). These two technologies work together to give you backup solutions and provide failover if a single drive fails. What Does a NAS RAID Mean? What Does a NAS RAID Mean?

Stuff breaks, backups and hardware can fail, and processes fall apart. If someone says we need to figure out how much capacity we have for a network attached storage (NAS) device on our DR site, it’s assigned on the spot. How does that apply to the 3-2-1 backup rule? Then, I send around a PDF to everyone. That’s a good test.

This is why scale-out storage is considered to be network attached storage (NAS). . Scale-out NAS systems involve clusters of software nodes that work together. Vertical scaling also tends to require less new backup and virtualization software. . Hence, the advent of scale- out architectures. . What Is Scale-up Architecture?

Object vs File Storage: When and Why to Use Them

Pure Storage

MAY 20, 2022

File storage can’t scale up—it must scale out with the addition of more file storage systems (such as a network-attached server, or NAS). File storage is organized into a strict tree-like hierarchy with directories, sub-directories, and so on. To access a stored file, you must follow a specific path to it. These include: .
