Achieving 99.9998+% Storage Uptime And Availability

Information is the lifeblood of the global economy. And with worldwide buyers and sellers operating on a 24/7/365 basis, the need for building information systems that approach 100 percent uptime and data availability is more acute than ever. Simply put, the global economy runs on information. More importantly, it runs on available information.
With this realization IT departments have pushed to create "enterprise class" availability built on an infrastructure that can deliver in excess of 99.9 percent uptime. But for most organizations enterprise class is not good enough. In fact, for years the world's most reliable network operations – the Telcos – have operated with a much higher standard in place: carrier-class availability, delivering at a minimum 99.999 percent availability and uptime that is orders of magnitude better than enterprise class. Carrier-class storage is a new generation of high-availability that meets the 24/7/365 uptime demands. It is easier to manage than traditional methods of achieving high availability and lowers the total cost of ownership of network storage.
