SAN White Paper: Storage Networking, The Next Network
Overview SANs enable storage to be externalized from the server and in doing so, allow storage to be shared among multiple ‘host’ servers without impacting system performance or the primary network. This architecture emerges from mainframe DASD. It is nothing new; the benefits are time-proven. In fact, the DEC VAX network environment is based on clustered servers and SAN architectures. Already, EMC has a large installed base of SAN attached arrays (Symetrix) and has achieved such a high level of customer confidence that it is the standard of comparison. Companies such as CNT are already well established in this market, providing local and remote SAN solutions. So, what’s new? This important technology is moving into the mainstream in distributed networking and will be adopted as the standard way of attaching and accessing storage within a few short years.
