What is CIS?

CIS (Cloud Integrated Storage) is a traditional storage area network. Network connected storage or unified storage system, data can be layered and/or cached in cloud-based storage, and cloud storage is regarded as a part of the main storage system mentioned in cloud storage.

Traditional storage systems are usually installed locally to manage local and cloud-based storage; ? Cloud data seems to be local. Under normal circumstances, CIS system will automatically tier or cache the most active data to local storage for faster access, and use cloud-based storage for less active data. Users can use the features of the primary storage system, such as snapshots, thin provisioning and data reduction of cloud-based data.

Matters needing attention in CIS implementation management stage

Don't rush into the implementation stage: before the enterprise determines the CIS import policy, it will have a negative effect if the implementation plan is arranged hastily and mechanically.

The time of design and development must be flexible: in the design and development of CIS, it is important for designers to fully evaluate it during the basic design and development. In order to put forward a good idea, sufficient review time must be reserved in the initial stage of design and development operation.

When changing the company name, brand and trademark, we must go through the legal procedures in a hurry and leave enough time for operation: due to the complexity of various legal procedures, it is often easily overlooked. Therefore, dealing with it as early as possible can avoid the delay of CIS operation.
