Hi, I live in Washington.
I am searching for information of server connectivity. In digital world it’s been really a big challenge to protect your data. As we all know cloud server storage is the one of secure system to protect your data and also helps you to recover your data online. I am looking for buy storage server with best-of-breed technology and high security applications. I am looking for cost effective and reliable storage system. There is many number of brands like MCE, IBM, Cisco, and HP etc. But actually as I am an independent software provider want to prefer a server on my own requirements. One of my friend told me that these companies would be manufactured products on a/c to your need if you demand them a hug quantity. They do not manufacture a single or 2-3 pieces of product. I visited MCE website they wrote that along with OME they design and manufacturer for independent software providers. But they did not mentioned it clearly.
So, any one have ideas or can suggest me that where I've to go correctly.
Thanks
 
If you're an independent I would think that going with a enterprise solution like the ones you're naming would be ridiculously expensive - both to purchase and maintain. I would suggest looking at a 6 - 12TB NAS solution which you can get for much cheaper, or you can build your own for even less. You could do something like this and then there's an operating system called FreeNAS that will make setup really easy:

That's 18TB of storage for $1300 and FreeNAS as your operating system. If you were to get 18TB of storage in a 3U server you'd be forking over nearly $7,000 - $8,000 minimum.
