  Ransomware is a growing threat with an estimated cost of $11.5 billion in 2019 alone. Businesses need to be prepared for the worst and have proactive measures in place to protect their data. One of the best ways to do this is through SAN storage ransomware protection. Let’s take a look at what SAN storage ransomware protection entails and why it’s so important for businesses.   What Is SAN Storage Ransomware Protection? SAN storage ransomware protection is a type of security measure designed specifically for storage area networks (SANs). A SAN is a collection of shared storage devices that are connected to multiple servers within a network, allowing users to access the same data from different locations. This makes them an ideal option for businesses who need to store and share large amounts of data across multiple systems. However, this also makes them vulnerable to attack from malicious software like ransomware. Ransomware works by locking down your files until yo...

  If you’re looking for an efficient, secure way to store data, then you should look no further than a storage area network (SAN). SANs are incredibly useful for businesses that require large amounts of storage. But in order to make the most out of your SAN storage , you need to understand the different types of storage protocols that it can use. Let’s take a closer look at some of the most common protocols used in SANs today.   Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) The Fibre Channel protocol is one of the oldest and most widely used protocols when it comes to SANs. It uses a high-speed fibre optics connection to transfer data between devices. This makes it an ideal choice if you need to move large amounts of data quickly. The downside is that FCP is relatively expensive compared to other protocols, so it may not be feasible for some businesses with limited budgets.   Internet SCSI (iSCSI) iSCSI is another popular protocol used in many modern SANs. It works by using ex...

  A storage area network (SAN) is an essential part of any modern business infrastructure. It allows organizations to store data in a centralized location, reducing costs and improving efficiency. But in order for a SAN to function optimally, it needs to be properly optimized. In this blog post, we'll take a look at some tips for optimizing your SAN storage for maximum performance.   Monitor Storage Resources Regularly The first step towards optimizing your SAN is to regularly monitor the resources it uses. This includes disk space usage, I/O latency, disk throughput, disk latency, CPU utilization, memory utilization, etc. By analyzing these metrics on a regular basis you can identify areas that need improvement or optimization and make adjustments accordingly. Keeping track of these metrics also helps you stay ahead of potential problems before they become serious issues.   Utilize Intelligent Automation As technology continues to evolve and new products ent...
