The 21st century has seen a massive increase of data. This is a result of data-intensive applications such as Virtualized Computing, HIPAA electronic storage, Medical Imaging, Banking/Financial applications, Private and Public Clouds, Social Media, and numerous new legal requirements and standards.

Until now, expanding an existing system was often difficult and expensive, if not impossible. Often upgrading meant throwing out the existing system and replacing it with the current vendors' “latest and greatest” system. Value was an alien concept in this new world of big data.

Nfina Technologies™ was founded in Mobile, Alabama in 2012 with a simple mission:

• Build server and storage devices using best-in-class components.

• Make them simple to use and easy to integrate into existing systems.

• Create new ways to build outstanding value per dollar into Nfina products, such as advanced RAID technology to achieve near SSD performance at SATA prices.

All of Nfina Technologies' Server, NAS, SAN, JBOD, Workstation, and PC solutions use best-in-class components: Intel® processors and motherboards, Enterprise-class drives, LSI® RAID controllers, Kingston® memory, and other products known for their reliability. Nfina then stands behind them with an industry leading five-year warranty and optional on-site service.

Nfina’s staff has extensive experience in manufacturing, installing, and supporting hardened industrial electronics, industrial networking, computer printers and industrial printing systems, aircraft components, and SCADA systems for nuclear reactors.

The result of this combination is a product line of server, storage, and PC products that are built to not only perform in mission-critical Data Center and Enterprise IT environments, but to deliver exceptional value for every IT dollar spent.

The Nfina Advantage

Steven Moore, PresidentNNT Solutions, Nfina Technologies Reseller

"The fact that Nfina was willing to air ship us out a RAID card and you were willing to have a server prepped and on standby, just in case; truly exceeded all expectations and so much so that my tech stated it was the best support he had ever seen."

Nfina’s 602 JBOD product provides a simple way to add incremental storage to a network and with 12Gb/s SAS connectivity stored data can be retrieved more efficiently. This product can be easily daisy-chained by using industry standardSFF-8644mini-SAScables.The602JBOD is a cost-effective, high performance, storage expansion solution for Nfina Servers, NAS, and SAN products.

Nfina’s hardware RAID option is available and highly recommended on all Nfina server and storage products, because quite simply our hardware RAID enables more complete data protection and increases performance at a fraction of the cost of previously available solutions.

The list of reasons to choose hardware RAID is compelling. Choosing the CacheVault® technology option eliminates data loss in the event of a power outage. Using hardware RAID for SSD Caching yields near SSD performance at SATA pricing. RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6 10, 50, and 60 create a wide choice of options, assuring a choice which will provide the optimum balance of data redundancy and performance for any enterprise. Nfina’s Hardware RAID enables the option of going with the latest 12Gb/s SAS technology. Administration Software is included to monitor drives and the overall health of the network. External JBOD options are available to allow for expansion as the enterprise grows. This impressive list of benefits makes hardware RAID a remarkably economical way to maximize your hardware investment.

As hard drives, SSD drives, and RAID technologies advance, network storage array systems are now available with near SSD performance at SATA prices and density. The advantage to purchasing such a system is that it uses open technology, as opposed to proprietary technology from the traditional storage vendors. This allows companies like Nfina Technologies to build cost effective, hybrid storage arrays using best-in-class components, and provide customers with more choice and flexibility.

Nfina’s Caching Technology utilizes a considerable amount of SSD as a cache and SATA drives to store data. This solution yields near SSD performance for the cost of SATA drives.

A more robust network using a NAS for Disaster Recovery is shown here:

In the flat network shown in diagram 1, client application files are stored on the file server. If this server is mapped as a network drive by the clients, your enterprise is only one click away from a malware attack from a malicious ransom-ware virus. If any client clicks on the wrong email, every file in the file server that ismappedintotheclientsnetworkdrivestructurecan(andprobablywill)becorrupted.Anexampleofthis kind of malware is the infamous KEYHolder virus.

In the more robust network shown in diagram 2, the NAS is not mapped onto the Client network. It is highly desirable that this device is configured to be isolated from the client network. The NAS should not have access to the internet. Given the fact that NAS appliances are very low cost (especiallyrelativetoaSAN),the expense should not pose a barrier of entry. Think of the NAS as a very large thumb drive.

Of course, a large number of backup solutions are available that would allow multiple restore points from the NAS in case a malicious malware event occurs. As long as there wasn’t a catastrophe in the server room, the NAS could have the Server restored in a matter of minutes locally over the intranet which would be much faster than over the internet.
