Inside an Enterprise Virtual Array - EVA 8000 |
---|
Thousands of high-resolution numismatic image files require an
extraodinary amount of computer storage. This photograph is of the
fiber-optic switches and storage controllers in a 120 terabyte enterprise
virtual storage array.
The rear of one of the disk enclosures is visible at the top of the photo.
To prevent data loss and guarantee continued availability all components of the storage array are duplicated including the data. Backups on high-density magnetic tapes are stored in multiple off-site locations. |
