IP SAN Overview
|
|
IP SAN Storage area networks (SANs) are a tried and tested way to lower the total cost of ownership and increase the performance and availability of corporate storage resources. Because of this, SANs based on Fibre Channel technology have become the standard in many corporate data centers. By enabling storage consolidation and an easy to use GUI, iSCSI Appliance IP SAN solutions enable organisations to provide pooled disk and network their enterprise data assets, improving enterprise data accessibility and availability and providing greater application uptime and flexibility than direct attached storage. iSCSI Appliance solutions are founded on a single, heterogeneous platform using industry-standard protocols IP and SCSI. Deploying an iSCSI Appliance IP SAN solution enables organisations to leverage existing investments to bolster infrastructure interoperability. Additional functionality can also provide local and remote Snapshots as well as clustered iSCSI Appliances for continuous data availability and uptime. The world of today revolves around high speed, continuous access and availability of information and data. An IP SAN has all the benefits of a Fibre Channel SAN without the cost and training implications.
