The Pirus Storage Utility Switch: Convergence Toward an Intelligent Infrastructure

Overview The explosive growth of data is driving organizations to adopt newer, more cost-effective approaches to data storage. This paper talks about a Next-generation Storage Networking Platform.
Storage networking solutions, such as Storage Area Networks (SANs) and Network Attached Storage (NAS), have enabled organizations to deploy large amounts of storage more effectively across a variety of users and applications. While these first-generation solutions have offered efficiencies and cost savings over traditional direct-attached storage, they represent distinctly different approaches that today require organizations to build and manage separate infrastructures.
