iSCSI Storage, Replication and Snapshots

iSCSI Storage allows users to mount remote, enterprise-grade, SAN storage disks as though they were attached locally. It is scalable, easily provisioned, and outperforms internal disks, providing a low-cost alternative to traditional fiber-channel storage solutions. Replications of iSCSI volumes can be sent to another SoftLayer data center in the U.S., Asia, or Europe for painless disaster recovery. Point-in-time snapshots of iSCSI volumes can be scheduled, stored locally or remotely, and later accessed for data recovery or current data comparison.

FTP/NAS Storage

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and Network Attached Storage (NAS) provide fast, reliable and cost-effective storage for maximum data retention and storage.
