Using Fibre Channel to Reduce SCSI Storage Costs
Overview There are two popular methods for connecting storage arrays to servers for block-level access to storage - Direct Attached Storage (DAS) and Storage Area Networking (SAN). Both use the SCSI protocol and appear as local storage to servers. These two methods present contrasting storage architectures. The most common architecture or method remains DAS, which uses a direct connection between a server and its dedicated SCSI storage system. These connections typically use parallel SCSI technology, which is used internally for disks as well. DAS is simple to deploy yet becomes increasingly difficult to manage as the numbers of DAS systems grow.
