IO's Virtual Storage provides access to an enterprise-grade storage array at a fraction of the cost.

Virtual Storage
Email, video and various "rich media" applications, combined with the regulations governing document retention, are stretching existing storage resources to the limit. Soaring storage requirements along with shrinking budgets, are forcing enterprises to consider new approaches to storing and organizing data. As a result, many organizations are deciding that virtualization - the same technology that make servers more efficient and cost-effective - can also be applied to their ever-growing storage needs.

Benefits

	Lower Upfront Costs
	Greater Flexibility
	Freedom from Failure
	Unleashes Storage From Servers
	Enhanced Regulatory Compliance

Lower Upfront Costs: Instead of purchasing hard drives or storage area network (SAN) solutions that are likely to become obsolete in a few years, IO's Virtual Storage is a private cloud computing service with a regular and predictable expense.

Greater Flexibility: It's no longer necessary to plan storage strategies months or even years in advance - storage capacity can be added or removed quickly and easily whenever the need arises.

Freedom from Failure: With virtual storage, irretrievable data loss caused by hard drive crashes, fires, storms, earthquakes, and other calamities is no longer a constant threat. IO's Virtual Storage is always-on - whenever you need it.

Unleashes Storage From Servers: Virtualization also frees storage from the constraints imposed by a server's physical configuration. Using IO's Virtual Storage means you don't have to physically connect a storage device to an on-site server, eliminating the need to hunt around for available slots or connections.

Enhanced Regulatory Compliance: Enterprises in finance, healthcare and other tightly regulated fields can effectively meet mandated data storage requirements with virtual storage backups that are secure and highly available.

IO Virtual Storage: Reliable, secure, convenient, and cost-effective.
