SAN Basics

What is an OpenSAN?

An OpenSAN is a high performance network that establishes a direct connection between identical or disparate storage elements and servers, thereby allowing information and resources to be shared and accessed by multiple host servers over any distance.

The Business Proposition

OpenSAN technology enables you to take advantage of the following benefits:

• Simplified Centralized Management
• Limitless Scalability - Managing Growth
• Resource Allocation Monitoring
• Increased Data Bandwidth, Speed, Response
• Streamline Procedures, Efficiencies, Security
• Virtualization
• High Availability/Clustering
• Shrinking Backup Window
• LAN-Less, Non-Disruptive Backups
• Mirroring, Cloning, Replication, Snapshots
• Unified Disaster Recovery/Protection

The Paradigm Shift

SAN Technology has become a necessity because businesses of all kinds are growing reliant on rapidly expanding amounts of data and computing resources. Server disk storage is routinely doubling every 12-18 months. And where storage was once viewed as merely a data repository to satisfy an application, today it is viewed as a key competitive advantage for the enterprise. Intelligent storage is now one of the most significant strategic issues and accounts for almost 50 percent of all information technology spending.
