Storage Area Networks

SANs solve some of the most difficult problems relating to traditional storage. By consolidating storage on a separate high-speed network, they free LAN bandwidth, enhance performance, reduce points of management, and increase efficiency and flexibility. Expanding capacity is easy - administrators can add drives and subsystems as needed, often without taking the main system offline. SANs also simplify data backup and enable advanced backup techniques, including replication and mirroring.

SAN benefits:

• Adds extra security to your storage system
• Increases availability
• Boosts network and database performance
• Enhances disaster-recovery capabilities
• Decreases management and maintenance costs
• Provides application serving as well as data retrieval
