Electronic commerce has made traditional data storage methods obsolete. The need for full-time data access, as well as the sharing of storage and data by multiple applications, has given rise to a completely new data storage paradigm –– the Storage Area Network (SAN). SANs are already revolutionizing distributed computing. In this comprehensive book, two top technology experts from VERITAS Software Corporation take you through all facets of storage networking. They first show you how a SAN can help consolidate conventional server storage onto networks. Then they explain how a SAN can help make applications highly available no matter how much data is being stored, which, in turn, makes data access and management faster and easier. Along the way, they provide you with invaluable advice on the design and deployment of the technology and how it works to make your decision to adopt storage networking easier, and give you an appreciation of the benefits that you are likely to realize. | | |
