Benefits of Upgrading to a 4Gb SAN Infrastructure

Tags:
infrastructure management

Overview Today's organizations must weigh the decision to upgrade to a 4Gb SAN infrastructure against their current and future service requirements in terms of functionality, scalability, and strategic growth. If self-containment is important, and the SAN infrastructure is performing adequately, it is likely that no changes need to occur. However, if the SAN is part of an IT infrastructure that is expected to keep pace with technology advancements, 4Gb SAN solutions should be an integral part of the strategic storage infrastructure plan. The benefits of equal cost, twice the throughput, investment protection, and less SAN infrastructure (fewer ports) provide increased SAN reliability, availability, and performance.
