Storage Networks: The Complete Reference

team lib

The capability of Storage Area Networks to integrate into the data center can become more complex than expected. However, given the right orientation, and a realistic view of current solutions, SAN offers a compatible solution to both UNIX and Windows environments. Not without its challenges, the ability to move beyond the homogeneous implementation can be successful, though more expensive and encumbering than the original SAN justification may have entailed. With the current set of products and solutions available, the data center can expect the following when connecting the SAN into the data center:

As Storage Area Network technologies and solutions continue to evolve , connectivity of components to key elements within the data center infrastructure can be terribly disruptive to existing operations. However, this same connectivity can also be the most productive in facilitating the scalability of a storage infrastructure as well as establishing a foundation for the evolving enterprise storage fabric.
