Stock photos, graphics, clip art, high quality images, advertisements and marketing PowerPoint presentations are relatively static but require large amounts of storage space and need to be readily available for when they are needed. PrimeArray systems can store both CD/DVD based data (e.g. subscription service) and general files (e.g. .jpg, .tif, .ppt, etc.) on the same system for ease of maintenance and centralized organization.

Electronic Manuals (Repair, Maintenance and Operations)
A significant trend has been the move away from paper-based manuals in favor of the electronic form.

Data and E-mail Archival
Businesses have huge amounts of data and old emails that must be saved, must be accessible on occasion, but are not needed on a day to day basis.PrimeArray FlexNAS provides economical storage for these large quantities of data.

Departmental Storage
Perhaps Marketing needs space for program materials, graphics files or presentations or perhaps Engineering has large CAD/CAM files. PrimeArray NAS products provide an excellent means to satisfy those needs with easy, scalable and reliable storage. A unique capability of the PrimeArray NetServ products is the ability to store both general data files and store CD-ROM and DVD-ROM based information. For instance, an advertising department might receive stock photos, clip art, industry art via CD or DVD, but they also generate graphics files and .pdfs on their own. These can be stored on the same system.

Regulation Compliance- Data Retention
Sarbannes-Oxley and other such regulations stipulate the need to retain large amounts of information. Add the storage space you need easily.

Tapeless Backup
As the price of hard disk storage falls and the window for backing up that data gets compressed, consider using PrimeArray network attached storage for your offsite backup and disaster recovery needs. The FlexNAS comes with Logical Sync to provide full or differential backups to a system located at another facility. Set up scheduled backups or initiate them manually. Its fast and easy and amazingly affordable. With mirrored data offsite, getting back in service is much faster and more reliable.
