Diversified Low-cost Dell provides data storage and backup solutions for government departments and education departments

Whether in the electronic government-led city, or in the education of the city of information, storage demand is showing a diversified development pattern. After years of construction. E-government in China has been developing from the initial stage of information release to a deeper level of interaction between enterprise, citizen and government. To this end, all levels of government, especially the provincial and municipal level two governments, will break the "islands of information" between different departments, and promote the integration of resources between the various systems as the focus of the next step.

In order to realize the above integration, it is necessary to solve the decentralized state of all kinds of data resources on the physical level, and build the Unification Data center, which can not be separated from the large-scale, high-density storage
Oxfam However, the building of data centers does not mean that the original systems, departments no longer need their own data storage and backup measures, they still have their own unique application services requirements, still need a certain scale of data storage and management systems, for a variety of specifications, a variety of density of storage media and storage facilities, Even the simplest mobile HDD backup system, there are more and more strong prayer.

Common "low cost" demand

The same is true in the field of education, on the one hand, the maturity of the higher education Campus network and the ordinary Education metropolitan Area Network makes the educational Management data center and educational resource data center become more and more developed, and the special demand for high-density storage facilities is more and more urgent. On the other hand, the deepening of teaching informationization makes it more and more important Create dotted, new data resource points that have further requirements for storage devices.

This shows that, whether it is a government agency, or educational institutions, they have a depth and breadth of storage facilities, and so on two aspects of the demand: in depth, their data center building needs to improve performance, increasing density of large-scale storage facilities; in terms of breadth, the application of each link needs to be continuously subdivided, Configuration of a variety of small and medium-sized regulatory chess storage facilities. In addition, given the non-profit nature of government departments and educational institutions, they also share a "low-cost" demand for storage facilities, which is reflected in two areas, low initial procurement and deployment costs, low operational maintenance and upgrading costs, and, in particular, Is that the total cost of ownership (TCO) of the system is maintained at a lower level.

To meet the "diversity" and "low cost" needs of government departments and educational institutions in storage, many storage vendors are trying to extend their product line length, and have taken a number of measures to reduce the cost of products, including "technical standardization" of the Magic weapon, through the use of standardized technology to reduce product development, such as a series of costs. As a "technical standardization" has always been a fan, Dell is one step ahead, the standardization of Technology and the customization of the program fully integrated, and in the System Management and service security and other aspects of the force. By taking proactive steps in three areas, such as products, services, and management tools, Dell has successfully provided a complete set of "as needed" data storage and backup solutions for government departments and educational users.

Dell products and Solutions meet requirements

In the case of hardware products, Dell itself has a more complete storage product line in the industry: in tape storage, Dell has a full range of enterprise-class tape storage products with fully automated libraries, automatic tape loaders, rack-mounted tape drives, and single tape drives. On disk storage, Dell products cover SCSI, SAS, SATA, FC, and other storage media, they can build Das, NAS, SAN and other storage architectures, fully meet the customer's "breadth" of storage facilities requirements.

While satisfying the diverse storage needs of users, Dell has been committed to extending the storage product line to the high-end, from "depth" to meet the needs of high-end users to build large data resource centers. In terms of networked storage, PowerVault recently launched a new NX1950 network add-on storage product. This storage device integrates the simplicity of NAS (network-attached storage) with the high-availability of the San (storage local area network), integrating a number of technologies such as Fibre Channel and iSCSI, and can store both file data and application modules in virtually any operating environment. In direct-attached storage, Dell has launched a SAS hard disk storage device, represented by PowerVault MD3000, which has elevated the speed, performance, and reliability of the storage array to a new level that can fully meet the demanding application price of mainstream servers such as e-mail or databases.

Because Dell always adhere to the standardization of technology and modular design concept, its storage products in the choice of technical solutions to better grasp the maturity and the best balance of the advanced degree, both the advantages of performance, but also the price of competitiveness. Taking its latest PowerVault NX1950 product as an example, Dell helps users reduce complexity and procurement costs through the cost of features and protocols that are less available to customers, setting a new price-performance standard for the industry. The PowerVault RD1000 provides users with a new simple, economical and practical storage solution through the cost advantage of collecting tape backup media and the performance advantage of hard disk backup media.

For government departments and educational clients, with the centralization of data and the expansion of data center, the system management is more and more difficult because of the more and more critical and risk factors. How to manage the data center, reduce the management cost, become the government and the education customer in the information construction process to solve the difficult problem. Dell has been highly concerned with the development of system management tools, equipped with Easy-to-use, powerful dedicated management software for storage products, providing a complete solution for system management, business continuity, disaster recovery, data mobility, data analysis and other requirements. In the case of the latest PowerVault MD3000, the user can use only one modular disk Storage Manager (modular storage management software), on any server connected to the storage array, or on a remote client in the network, Easy management of the entire array subsystem. This kind of management software effectively simplifies the user's management, maintenance and expansion of the storage system, and can meet the requirements of the users to strictly control the operation and maintenance cost of the storage system.

While reducing the difficulty of customer management through integrated management software, Dell provides customers with direct services throughout the lifecycle of the storage system, including the planning, implementation, maintenance, and training of the system. The unique feature of the service is that it adopts the direct mode of "on-demand customization". By providing customers with a "Levin" solution, Dell enables customers to choose the services based on their own needs and budgets, thereby avoiding the cost of a one-size-fits-all service delivery.
