ISTORAGE has been in business since 1984. Our focus is Data: Archiving, Displays, Management, Mobiles, Networks, Projects, Servers, Storage, and End To End Security for our clients. It should clearly understood that the traditional server, network, desktop relationship has now gone i.e. servers, desktops and laptops that are based on spinning disk are now dinosaurs waiting to die. The market today is now servers, desktops and laptops with single or multiple Solid State Drives (SSD ~ SAS & SATA).

We add additional Archiving NAS~ SAN Appliances to the system to ensure full data protection across a WAN and via a Secure Cloud Service (which could also be based at your ISP or ASP or other site at least 100 Miles 160 Kilometres) away from your central site. So typically a sensible user will use three Archiving NAS~ SAN Appliances to ensure full protection. Each branch and region would logically also each have an Archiving NAS~ SAN Appliance. The archiving process is automated with checks and balances built into the software to ensure for example that the server, desktops, ...
