Enterprise storage refers to the infrastructure and technology utilized by businesses to store and manage vast amounts of data in a centralized and efficient manner. The primary objective of enterprise storage is to furnish centralized, scalable, and reliable storage solutions for the extensive volumes of data generated and utilized by organizations. This facilitates businesses in effectively storing, managing, and accessing data across their entire infrastructure.

The primary types of enterprise storage systems include storage area network (SAN) systems, network-attached storage (NAS) systems, direct-attached storage (DAS) systems, object storage systems, and tape storage systems. SANs enable multiple servers to access shared block-level storage through a high-speed network. These storage systems can be deployed on-premise, in hybrid environments, or in the cloud, catering to applications in large enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across various industries such as information technology (IT) and telecommunications, banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI), healthcare, manufacturing, government, among others.
