    Open Source Solutions for Building Your Own Storage Area Network and Network Attached Storage Author, Balakrishnan Subramanian A Data Science Foundation White Paper May 2020 --------------------------------------------------- Data Science Foundation Data Science Foundation, Atlantic Business Centre, Atlantic Street, Altrincham, WA14 5NQ Tel: 0161 926 3641 Email: [email protected] Web: www.datascience.foundation Registered in England and Wales 4th June 2015, Registered Number 9624670 www.datascience.foundation Copyright 2016 - 2017 Data Science Foundation 1. INTRODUCTION Generally, Storage solutions can be grouped into following four categories: SoHo NAS systems, Cloud-based/object solutions, Microsoft Storage Server solutions, Enterprise NAS (Networked Attached Storage) and Storage Area Network (SAN) solutions. Enterprise NAS and SAN solutions are generally closed systems offered by traditional vendors like EMC and NetApp with a very large price tag, so many businesses are looking at Open Source solutions to meet their needs. This is a collection of links and brief descriptions of Open Source storage solutions currently available. Open Source of course means it’s free to use and modify, however some projects have do commercially supported versions as well for enterprise customers who require it. 1. Factors for choosing Storage Solutions When you are in the need of Storage solutions for managing your own infrastructure in your private Data Center, there are many offerings but selecting the right one depends upon your requirement. Factors involved in selecting a Storage type Budget Type of Data that you want to store Scaling concerns and Usage pattern In this article, we will be discussing two different methods (i.e. NAS and SAN), these two methods define the Structure of the storage, it is important to choose the right one based upon your use case and type of data.
