How Cisco Migrated to a SAN Environment in Small European Data Center
Overview During 2001 and 2002, the hosting team faced some challenges because of the dramatic demand in data growth and the limitations of the early DAS model. Another problem is that DAS architecture is inflexible. Moreover, tools for storage inventory, capacity planning, and storage provisioning in such a large and fragmented DAS environment were lacking. To overcome this challenge, the hosting team started the migration toward a storage model based on SANs rather than DAS. In early 2003, the team started planning a migration from individual SAN islands based on smaller Fiber Channel switches to a single shared SAN service based on the larger Cisco MDS 9509 Multilayer Director Switch.
