With the explosive growth of data driving government and commercial customers alike to adopt newer, more cost-effective approaches to data storage, Seeds has been able to bring our technical expertise to storage networking solutions, such as Storage Area Networks (SANs) and Network Attached Storage (NAS), which have enabled organizations to deploy large amounts of storage more effectively for use in various application and computing environments. Our storage solutions offer: • Flexibility to scale performance, connectivity, and storage capacity independently and on demand, with no disruption to user operations. • Unification of file (NAS) with traditional block (SAN) services. • Co-existence of Fibre Channel SAN networking with IP/Ethernet networking allowing the creation of "hybrid" SANs. • Enabling heterogeneous, multi-vendor storage support allowing corporations the freedom to choose amongst various vendors and to take advantage of storage networks supporting "class-of-storage" deployment models. • Upgradeable platform providing support for both current and emerging storage networking standards - ensuring interoperability with all existing and future standards-based storage and storage networking products. • The ability to support advanced storage applications such as storage virtualization, file serving, remote replication, backup and recovery features, capacity on demand, storage security, and so on. • Management tools for configuring, monitoring, and maintaining all storage services under a common management umbrella.
