Lucid can provide data pools for you or your organization. Our area of expertise is with server storage. We can manage all aspects of server storage. Including customized data backup routines, with easy access to incremental snapshot backups.

Below is a simplified model of how Xsan can be deployed to improve productivity and manage the risks associated with digital data.

A few of the advantages of deploying a client server model with Xsan are :

Data does not reside on the workstation

• Simplified administration
• Impact of workstation hardware failure reduced
• Impact of workstation software failure reduced
• Impact of workstation theft reduced

Fiber Channel Network

• Theoretically the same speed as a local firewire 400 HD.
• Data files are available from all workstations with associated permissions
• Start work immediately. No waiting for data to be copied to and from the server
