Your VMware cluster deserves dedicated storage
Block-level performance for virtualization, databases and ERP, without the six-figure capital outlay. We size it, install it and run it.
Managed SAN — storage area network
A storage area network provides block-level storage over iSCSI or Fibre Channel — the dedicated, low-latency layer that hypervisors and database engines expect underneath them.
Ideal for
- VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V datastores
- SQL Server, Oracle and PostgreSQL databases
- SAP, Oracle EBS and Microsoft Dynamics ERP systems
- Manufacturing plants running production databases
- Hosting providers with multi-tenant infrastructure
Why it works
Predictable low latency
Dedicated block storage rather than a shared file layer, so database and VM performance stays consistent under load.
No six-figure CapEx
Rent the array monthly, build toward ownership, or buy outright. The performance is the same; only the balance sheet changes.
Managed, not just delivered
24/7 monitoring, firmware and patch management, and vendor liaison when hardware needs replacing.
Capacity tiers
Start where you are and expand in place.
Entry
SAS dual controller
Dual-controller SAS arrays for a first consolidation of VM storage.
Performance
Hybrid / SSD tiered
Mixed media for databases with a hot working set and a colder archive.
Enterprise
NVMe all-flash
All-flash arrays for latency-sensitive production workloads.
What you get
- iSCSI over Ethernet or dedicated Fibre Channel
- Dual-controller arrays for redundancy
- NVMe and all-flash configurations available
- Datastore provisioning for VMware and Hyper-V
- Performance tuning as part of the higher service tiers
- Disaster recovery planning on the top tier
Common questions
SAN or NAS — which do we need?
If people open files from it, you want NAS. If servers boot from it or a database lives on it, you want SAN. Many organisations run both, and the same team manages either.
Can this replace our existing array without downtime?
Usually yes. Migration is planned during the design phase and typically runs alongside the existing array, cutting over during an agreed maintenance window.
Is Fibre Channel necessary?
Not for most workloads. iSCSI over a properly configured 10 GbE network covers the majority of cases; Fibre Channel makes sense where you already have the fabric or need to isolate storage traffic completely.
