TeamSite Storage Architecture

Klish Group has defined a TeamSite Storage Architecture ideal setup based on our implementation experience. The architecture diagram illustrates the networking and storage hardware components utilized in this setup.

The SAN appliance's proprietary file system and software is utilized to take virtual snapshots of the contents of each volume during the TeamSite backup process. A tremendous performance gain is provided by using the SAN hardware and software. The time for your TeamSite environment to be offline during your backup window can be reduced to seconds, from minutes and hours. In today's global world, and with content management platforms leveraged throughout a company, high availability is critical.

Benefits of the TeamSite Storage Architecture

  • Minimal Backup Downtime - many customers use a zip up and compress process that takes many hours depending on the size of the content repository. With our design the TeamSite content repository backup time is reduced to around one minute (for a 30 GB backing store)
  • Backups easily restored - last ten days worth of backups online and immediately available for restore without waiting for IT resources to locate and load backup tapes.
  • Performance - studies conducted by Interwoven proved that a setup similar to ours yielded faster results than using local disks.
