To Build a Storage and Backup Strategy for Small Business



Now-a-day businesses generate more data than the previous days to which the pre-gigabyte cost of various external and internal hard disks and various associate storage technologies are never been lower, while on the other side the cloud storage also increasing rapidly to which they offers even more opportunities to do more things with less.
Most of the small business are aware of the storage capacity in today’s move due to the confusion about the various storage options and a failure to understand the old paradigm and about backup which was no longer adequate.
When coming to backup strategy it was more than a hardware, it differs according to the system of business lack of the budget and functionality of the backup.
There are various six common data storage solutions
Unless going to every storage facility around u reveal of various categories is better for storage options:

  • Attaching direct storage: DAS is which storage devices that which are connected directly to a personal computer or a server, where commonly using a USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 peripheral port. In these there a backlog of to do ad-hoc or a batch backups to transfer the data.

  • Network attached storage: In NAS it connects directly to the network and there the data is stored it is main function is around file server and it helps us to accept multiple storage drives. NAS can be accessed anywhere in the area s where the network is available and can be accessed from any computers and laptops using certain authorization. And in some NAS the data can synchronized in the certain selected folder and in various volumes with a second

  • Disaster protected storage: It is defined in the name itself which can mainly come in the form of NAS or DAS they are hardened against these various types which would have been easily destroyed and the data can be lost and for example considering the ioSafe company it says there DAS can be survive even for thirty long minutes in fire and in days under water.
  • Online storage: In online storage of data there are actually about two different variables such as Amazon Storage Service which serve as a cloud version for all the supported amazon compute platform. And in the another form using the data to be stored to cloud and any consumers and business store can back up the data according to there will.  Some companies like MozyPro and SpiderOak which mainly used for business storage

  • Private Cloud: when the customer feels that why to keep the data in third party hands then they can use cloud vendors, and to these various enterprises made to build some private versions of the cloud storages to gain some of the inherent benefits of the flexibility and electricity .

  • Offline media: Mainly called as the tape drivers for the optical such as DVD and Blue ray disc which were capable of storage a very large amount of data and they are totally offline data backup. This storage can be looked as outrage but consider once that tape backups saved top company like Google at one Gmail outrage and Facebook is now using Blu-Ray discs for data backup of entire server rack

  

Power – Line Communications



This describes in many other forms such as:

  • Power –Line networking (PLN).
  • Power –Line carrier.
  • Power –Line telecommunications.
  • Mains Communication
  • Power –Line digital subscriber line (PDSL).
In this it carries data on a conductor which is also used simultaneously for AC electric power supply or electric power transmission

For different type of applications a wide range of power line communication are most needed such as getting the internet access for home which is used to called as broadband over power lines (BPL). For which most of the power line communication limit themselves for one certain building and some can cross to another two levels of communication such as the both premises wiring and the distribution network and in these various frequencies and data rates are maintained at certain required situations.
It is operate by mainly adding a modulated carrier signal to the wiring system according to the power line communication types the frequency bands varies according to it basically the power distribution of this system is intended to transfer AC power at various difficult frequencies of 50 or 60 Hz, they have a very limited frequencies to carry high frequencies.

Transmission of radio programs:
In some cases the power line communications are widely used in transmitting the radio programs through the power lines. And when it is used in AM radio bad, it is well known as carrier current system.

High-frequency (≥ 1 MHz):
Depending on the technology various high range frequency spectrum uses large portion of the radio spectrum communication.

Home Network (Large area network –LAN):
Most of the home networks and other various peripheral’s like TV’s, players, etc... And all other entertainment devices which have Ethernet port capability can access. When power line adapters are established with Ethernet connection using the already existed wiring in the home which helps the devices to access the data without any inconvenience of running network cables

Broadband network over the power line:
Broad band over power line is easily stated as BPL is a system which will transmit two-way data over the existing AC MV a medium voltage among transformers in electrical distribution wiring and a AC LV a low voltage among transformer and customer outlets which was typically around 110 to 240V which helps to avoid the expenditure of maintaining a dedicated network of various devices such routers, radios and antennas in wireless network system.

In the broadband network power line the OPERA standard was used mostly by internet service providers in Europe. And in some places like Washington Island of North America and this were more commonly used for smart meters and to manage load on electric distribution.

Automotive uses:
Using Direct current (DC) battery power-line technology enables us to use the communication of data, music, voice and video signals in vehicle network. To overcome the noise and hostile environments they are used to be tailored in the advanced digital communication techniques which are mostly implemented in a small sized silicon devices in this one singled powered line can be used to multiple various independent networks. In these the benefits could be as lower in the cost, weight, ease of installation, and flexible modification.
