Managing Data Growth
With IT organizations under constant pressure to find ways to reduce cost, taking a long hard look at
the storage environment makes sense. And so today, more than ever, IT is investing in new technology
with a clear focus on reducing operational costs. Managing storage growth is a difficult task on the
whole, but the distributed nature of unstructured file-based data adds to the challenge significantly and
drives the need for improved file-serving solutions.
Rapid file-storage growth, driven by rich media—such as audio, video, graphics, backup files, office
documents, and email is impacting businesses now more than ever before. Companies not only require
immediate access to increasing volumes of data, but government regulations and corporate
governance are dictating what must be kept, for how long, and the speed with which it must be
accessed. Therefore, it is critical that companies invest in a cost-effective, modular, file-serving solution
that can support business now and well into the future. Consolidating file data with a dedicated
Network Attached Storage (NAS) solution can help address changing storage needs and reduce cost of
ownership by enabling simplified management, better resource utilization, centralized growth, and
data protection.
Why Managed Storage
Data storage is the fastest-growing capital cost within the data centre. Research from Gartner’s
Enterprise Storage Management service has found that storage is increasing, on average, about 45%
per year.
What does this mean for your organisation? Traditionally every couple of years there is a spike in
storage expenditure as a new shelf is purchased or the system is replaced outright. The migration
between systems can be very painful and as a result the transition period is occurring earlier and earlier
between platforms to ensure data availability. 1cloudstar understands that this repetitive incremental
investment can be a distraction, and that organisations are looking for a storage service which is always
available, always on, with a pay-as- you-use approach that breaks this purchasing cycle.
1cloudstar’s on-premise managed storage may be the solution to resolve your storage burdens. The
solution provides an operating cost model with utility billing. The system is fully supported (hardware,
software, and upgrades) within your own data centre, providing the local performance needed for your
physical and virtual server infrastructure. In addition, customers without a secondary site can elect to
use 1cloudstar’s off-site replication and backup services.

2. 1cloudstar CloudStore
1cloudstar enables you to manage your data on high performance, high availability managed storage
infrastructures housed on-premise within your data center, that is monitored and managed 24x7. The
1cloudstar CloudStore storage appliance is a managed storage service, ideally suited for customers
who need flexible access to added storage; to support their growing data needs.
1cloudstar CloudStore decreases capital expenses associated with buying and administering storage
systems by simply ordering more storage capacity or services as needed; instead of having to purchase
new hardware and software upfront.
As data can be one of the most mission-critical components of your business, you want to ensure that
it’s always available when you need it. You also want to be sure that you have the flexibility to grow your
data storage capacity as your business grows. The 1cloudstar CloudStore, managed storage service
gives you access to high-performance storage capacity, when you need it and with the flexibility to
accommodate your changing requirements.
The 1cloudstar CloudStore is monitored and maintained by the 1cloudstar 24×7 Center of Excellence
as part of our managed storage solutions. 1cloudstar provides you with reliable access to your mission
critical data, so you can be assured of the worry-free management of your business information.
1cloudstar on-premise manage storage provides you with the latest storage technology charged on a
per gigabyte per month when you start to use it. In addition 1cloudstar will provision an overflow
storage buffer from day one in anticipation of any future growth.
How Does It Work
1cloudstar will design, deploy and configure the 1cloudstar CloudStore platform within your data
centre for a nominal fixed price set-up fee. Thereafter the managed storage service has two compo-nents
– a fixed base minimum capacity, plus a pre-provisioned storage buffer for any overflow usage.
The key is you only pay for what you consume. Once the buffer shelf has reached 80% of capacity then
1cloudstar will provide a new shelf automatically ensuring your business can always meet demand.
When the system needs to be replaced at the end of the term the volumes are easily migrated to the
new platform, with no data loss and continuous availability.
Full-Featured NAS
1cloudstar’s cloud storage appliances controls all aspects of local storage and data protection function-ality,
providing full business-grade NAS features. They support local network file sharing protocols
including CIFS, and NFS, as well as providing resizable volumes, 256-bit AES encryption, user storage
quotas, iSCSI support and RAID for redundancy. In addition CloudStore allows for thin-provisioned local
snapshot capabilities within the ZFS filesystem.
Harnessing the Cloud
1cloudstar’s managed storage solution leverages cloud storage for primary, secondary storage and
disaster recovery purposes, while providing centralized management and control of remote site
storage. This architecture scales petabytes of data and integrates with Amazon Web Services S3 to
facilitate off-site storage through replication. This will allows you to store unlimited amounts of data
without the need for additional local storage. AES 256 bit encryption and compression is provided for
storing data to cloud storage. In addition, the deduplicating data before sending date to the cloud
feature, which improves readability minimizes storage and maximize write performance.
