Affordable storage solutions

Having information on hand has become second nature to our everyday lives. Every process critical to getting business done involves creating, implementing and then storing information so we can use this to develop strategies for moving forward or to prevent us from repeating mistakes from the past.

Being in the business of ICT Convergence, Miro has partnered with Buffalo Networking to offer affordable business class solutions for small to medium enterprises. Many organisations attempt to use basic servers and singular drives to protect information that would see them go bankrupt if it became unusable. The Buffalo Terastation series gives you an all-in-one, dynamic storage solution with rackmount and desktop solutions, from 2 to 12 bays, populated and diskless.

Buffalo NAS provides affordable, easy to deploy devices that enable simple expansion for future-proofing your information. RAID configurations will ensure that failure of any drive will not affect your working environment. Their devices are purpose-built for storing data while offering features such as free cloud access, automated backup for Windows and Apple machines, virtualisation so you can deploy storage resources anywhere you need to on your network, automated failover to another Terastation and replication.

The most underestimated technology in the security industry that this device boasts is ISCSI. Video surveillance is integral to monitor and secure the environments we operate in, unfortunately this is a bandwidth and write intensive medium which makes it challenging to store data reliably. ISCSI allows your video recording OS to record directly to the NAS, this harnesses the hardware of the NAS making it easier for the video recording software to communicate, thereby increasing performance and reliability.
