Data is growing at a higher rate than ever before and many IT administrators have the difficult task of how they would like to keep up with this growing demand. On one-side, you can scale-up by upgrading existing servers, on the other side you can scale-out by aggregating the computing power of multiple servers. There are many pros and cons to these two sides which we will discuss further.
Scale-up
Increase the performance of your existing data center by upgrading existing servers to the new Sans Digital EliteNAS 12G. Scaling up is all about upgrading to the latest processors, RAM, and storage capacity.

Active Cluster Mirroring (ACM)
In the event of a head node server failure, the secondary server automatically takes over to service the failed head node server. The ACM feature ensures continuous service with no down time.
Scale-out (horizontal scaling) When replacing servers in your data center is simply not enough or would like a more future proof solution that will allow you to grow your overall capacity instantaneously while at the same time increase the total throughput, it is usually time to think of a scale-out NAS solution.
SCALA has redefined how we store and protect data with SCALAfs and ScalaManager. This unique storage solution is designed for Tier 1, Primary Storage enterprise level, private, and public cloud computing implementations - successfully delivered across a variety of industries. SCALA is scalable from hundreds of terabytes to multiple petabytes, while still providing a predictable linear performance increase and high availability storage structure. SCALA delivers extreme capacity and performance and significantly reduces an organization's capital expense, operational expense and total cost of ownership.
High performance: Increase the total system bandwidth and performance as you increase your storage. A 2PB rack of standard servers with SATA disks and dual 10GbE can deliver 18GB/s throughput.
Proven proprietary file system: Eliminate performance bottlenecks without the use of traditional SAN controllers or NAS gateways.
Easy scalability: from 3 nodes of 48TB/ea to 300PB in a single volume.
Reliable File-level RAID: Enables 80% utilization, data recovery time is only 1/5 vs. traditional RAID, recovering 3TB in 30 minutes.
Self-monitoring mechanism: Proactively single out inactive hardware to provide high data availability.
Single log-on page for simple management: One, part-time IT staff can manage PB levels of storage.
