Separate block, file and backup storage requirements.
BTG SOLUTION
Data storage systems: SAN and NAS

01
Customer needs addressed
The architecture is shaped around the customer’s objectives, constraints and operating model.
Meet IOPS, latency, capacity and growth requirements.
Design resilience and data recovery.
02
Solution scope
The exact scope is defined after assessment and agreement on project boundaries.
All-flash, hybrid and capacity-oriented arrays for different profiles.
SAN switching, multipathing and zoning.
NAS services, file protocols, quotas and access control.
Snapshots, replication, monitoring and backup integration.
03
Project stages
Assessment
We collect inputs, requirements and constraints.
Architecture
We prepare the target design, scope and delivery plan.
Pilot
We validate critical assumptions in an agreed environment.
Implementation
We supply, configure, integrate and test.
Handover
We document the result and hand it over for operation.
04
Support and development
After commissioning, BTG can support agreed components and assist with diagnostics, changes, updates and architecture development. Terms, scope and response arrangements are defined separately for each project.
- Financial organizations
- Public sector
- Industry and energy
- Enterprise and distributed organizations
We work on projects in Almaty and other regions of Kazakhstan. Assessment, supply, implementation and on-site formats are agreed with the customer’s locations.
05 / Anonymized example
Storage, SAN and NAS
When consolidating virtual machines, usable capacity, peak IOPS, latency, growth and backup windows are assessed separately. This avoids confusing nominal capacity with actual array performance.
The example describes a typical approach and does not disclose customer information.07
Frequently asked questions
SAN or NAS - which should be chosen?
SAN typically serves block workloads, while NAS provides file access. The choice depends on applications and requirements.
How is usable capacity calculated?
Account for RAID protection, reserves, snapshots, deduplication, growth and platform constraints.
Is a dedicated storage network required?
It depends on workload, protocols, resilience requirements and the existing network.
