Titan VNS Applications:

A super performing instant data center - View Graphic

Suitable Users:

R&D and accounting departments in large-scale enterprises, government administrations, electronic governmental document management systems, CAD/CAM departments in manufacturing industries, law firms, accounting firms, architecture firms, medical records in hospitals, X-ray file reading rooms, banks, stock brokerage companies, airline and freight transportation companies, etc.

Benefits:

- Cost saving on expansion of high priced fault-tolerance storage equipment (Subsystem).

- Information sharing, easy management and cost lowering of network management.

- Data security and reliability with fault-tolerance and backup functions.

- Remote management, mirroring and burning CD's.

- Sharing storage equipment when installed at backends of various central units.

Large companies promote the idea of a paper-free office, research, development and evaluation commissions are also actively developing electronic governmental documents to respond to the upcoming of an electronic government, which manifests the importance of digital file management. No matter, be it for enterprises or the government, inadequate planning of information management causes employees to spend over 25% of their time searching for data, resulting in increasing hard drive and backup capacity demands, increasing server load and creating more headaches and trouble for all information management departments. The Titan VNS is definitely part of the solution in this era of information explosion. Through file servers, one can directly offload data online to the hard drives of the Titan VNS such as historical files or considerable quantities of picture banks that are scarcely used and do not need modification. Security backup of data can also be made directly by means of the CD-R/W devices of the Titan VNS onto CD-R/CD-RW disks, which can be shared on the network through the Titan VNS and as such easily establish an instant data saving and retrieving center in the network.

A super capacity temporary storage server - View Graphic

Suitable Users:

ICP, ASP, IDC, Data centers, government organizations, and most enterprises.

Benefits:

- A system with high stability and high reliability, offering customers 24/7 instant service.

- A complete solution, in line with the storage of enormous files and data from optical disks.

- Centralized data management and security backup, thus reducing overall scaling-up costs for storage equipment.

- File server load reduction in the network, thus increasing performance of data saving and retrieving speed in the network.

- Compliance with common backup software, sending data to backend backup server for centralized backup.

Problems of insufficent storage capacity and backup usually arise with increasing data. The Titan VNS can help IT staffs with effective planning and allocation regarding routine backup. It offers advantages fo istant backup, high speed, and high compatability with various high-capacity hard drives. It complies with common backup software (e.g. ARCserveIT, Microsoft Backup, etc.) and after collecting the data, sends it to a backend server for centralized backup. Therefore, for large-scale data center, due to the features of online instant backup, high speed and high capacity, the Titan VNS can temporarily store all data from frontend application servers and perform centralized backup at any time without interrupting the normal operation of intranet.

Because of the demand to cope with the transition of the business management model in the 21st century, how to utilize the e-business technology to improve operation performances and strengthen the internal file management is a tough issue which needs to be considered and resolved urgently by the owner of small and medium businesses. The Titan VNS can easily help you enjoy the same benefits used by large enterprises with the same conception of information management framework at a minimum cost. It is worthy to possess a multifunctional network storage server such as the Titan VNS, which can be used as a file server, an optical disk server, a FTP, and a backup server. Using an internet sharing device and a dial-up account, it employs a virtual account internally and a real account externally to connect a number of internally used workstations and to form a complete business network. This simple information framework satisfactorily establishes a data center for instant online saving and retrieving and helps reaching the goal of a mobile office.

A high-speed digital CD library - View Graphic
