With the increasing need for enterprise data to be highly available, manageable, and scalable, many organizations are looking to consolidated storage. For many business environments, traditional server-attached storage lacks the scalability and capacity for current needs and expected growth patterns. Today's storage networking technologies offer two methods of storage consolidation to help address the issues of scalability and capacity: network attached storage (NAS) and storage area networks (SAN).
By centralizing storage resources, organizations can realize rapid incremental upgrades, faster time to storage, economies of scale for purchases of both large disk and tape libraries, and better utilization rates of the storage they own. In addition, the complexity of managing storage and backing-up data in a centralized environment is greatly reduced.
