SAN: Overview
Looking for cost-effective ways to respond to the explosion of information created by e-Business and other initiatives, IT executives are pushing SANs to their limits - in size (data in enterprise SAN can be measured in multiple terabytes), complexity and functionality - as they embrace New Data Center mandates about tiered storage, storage on demand and delivering storage as a service to customers. IT managers are using SAN change-management tools to meet the New Data Center's stringent performance demands. The tools let administrators follow the trail of these interdependencies, from hosts and host bus adapters (HBA) to Fibre Channel switches, ports and storage arrays - even down to the level of logical unit numbers (LUN) and virtual volumes carved out of individual disk drives.
