SANs White Papers
Next Generation Datacenter SANs
Overview IDC believes that consolidation can take place in the storage network fabric as well as in storage arrays. For example, multilevel multi-protocol switches with higher port counts can consolidate the switching function within the SAN, as well as offer end users an alternative to separate, purpose built bridging devices. Consolidation may also occur with larger switches, i.e., switches with increase port density. Using larger building blocks within the SAN will result in fewer switches and reduce the number of ports needed for inter-switch communications.
