ICT has become the facilitator of human progress. The influence of information and communication technology on our daily lives keeps expanding rapidly. With it, our dependency on technology expands as well.

 

ICT has to be available. 24 hours a day. Worldwide. Within companies and stores. At the office as well as at home. A world without ICT is unimaginable in this day and age.

Delivering ICT infrastructures is our business. And 'living uptime' is our ambition.

Being able to make use of the latest technological developments needs to be normal. In order to work more efficiently, to live a pleasant life, to shop more easily, to travel faster - and do whatever else you want to do. Only when knowledge is available to make efficient use of it, technology proves to be profitable.

Qi ict provides that knowledge. Qi ict offers technological solutions only from world renowned brands. It is that combination that enables Qi ict to maintain its position as a market leader, working for a wide variety of users in many different sectors.

Our mission: providing continuous and safe availability of critical data.

 

What defines NAS?

A NAS, or Network Attached Storage, is a storage solution which is attached to a network and can also be applied as a full-fledged file server. Like a Windows-server, a NAS-system works completely autonomously.

This means hard disks are controlled by the system itself. Using the NAS it is possible to perform a backup to another NAS-system or a (virtual) Tape Library.

Benefits of NAS

Any system attached to the network and using TCP/IP and a proper file sharing protocol such as CIFS or NFS, can access and use this NAS directly. The major benefit of NAS are the high(er) performance and availability compared to conventional file servers, huge flexibility, scalability and simplified management.

NAS is a relatively simple and easily accessible medium for sharing files between users or locations. Scalability is easily available since usually multiple systems can be connected.

NAS versus SAN

Compared to SAN, performance of a NAS is slower since standard TCP/IP is used for data transmission. Adversely, SAN tends to be combined with a Fibre Channel network which boosts performance.

Qi ict offers systems tailor-made to your wishes, using NAS, SAN or a mix of these solutions.
