The objective is to facilitate data backup and archiving for all subscribers in an enterprise, while minimizing the time required to access and store data.&quot;<br> <br> The growth of company files, e-mail, databases, and application data drives a constant need for more storage. But with many networks architected with storage directly attached to servers, growth means burdensome storage management and decreased asset utilization. Storage resources remain trapped behind individual servers, impeding data availability.<br> <br> Given this scenario, customers inevitably experience storage infrastructures that are difficult to manage, ineffective at scaling, costly, and most importantly, do not keep pace with the growing quality of service (QoS) requirements posed by application servers. QoS requirements for servers include capacity, performance, and availability.<br> <br> </span></span><!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shapetype id="_x0000_t75" coordsize="21600,21600" o:spt="75" o:preferrelative="t" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" filled="f" stroked="f"> <v:stroke joinstyle="miter"/> <v:formulas> <v:f eqn="if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0"/> <v:f eqn="sum @0 1 0"/> <v:f eqn="sum 0 0 @1"/> <v:f eqn="prod @2 1 2"/> <v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelWidth"/> <v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelHeight"/> <v:f eqn="sum @0 0 1"/> <v:f eqn="prod @6 1 2"/> <v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelWidth"/> <v:f eqn="sum @8 21600 0"/> <v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelHeight"/> <v:f eqn="sum @10 21600 0"/> </v:formulas> <v:path o:extrusionok="f" gradientshapeok="t" o:connecttype="rect"/> <o:lock v:ext="edit" aspectratio="t"/> </v:shapetype><v:shape id="Picture_x0020_2" o:spid="_x0000_s1037" type="#_x0000_t75" alt="SAN Structure" style='position:absolute; margin-left:0;margin-top:0;width:201pt;height:170.25pt;z-index:1; visibility:visible;mso-wrap-style:square;mso-wrap-distance-left:0; mso-wrap-distance-top:0;mso-wrap-distance-right:0; mso-wrap-distance-bottom:0;mso-position-horizontal:left; mso-position-horizontal-relative:text;mso-position-vertical:absolute; mso-position-vertical-relative:line' o:allowoverlap="f"> <v:imagedata src="http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs045/1000806865468/img/44.jpg"/> <w:wrap type="square" anchory="line"/> </v:shape><![endif]--><![if !vml]><img width=268 height=227 src="http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs045/1000806865468/img/44.jpg" align=left alt="SAN Structure" v:shapes="Picture_x0020_2"><![endif]><span style='mso-bookmark:"LETTER\.BLOCK24"'></span><span style='mso-bookmark: "LETTER\.BLOCK24"'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#333333'>Storage Area Networks (SANs) enable enterprise storage consolidation by providing high-speed connectivity between heterogeneous servers and a storage subsystem.

DAS structures are traditional in which storage is tied directly to a server and only accessible at that server. In NAS, the hard drive that stores the data has its own network address. Files can be stored and retrieved rapidly because they do not compete with other computers for processor resources. The SAN is the most sophisticated architecture, and usually employs Fibre Channel technology. SANs are noted for high throughput and ability to provide centralized storage for numerous subscribers over a large geographic area.
