Networked Storage Solutions

Many customers tend to think that building up a storage area network or SAN is expensive and difficult. It is quite the opposite now. In terms of technology, the dominant networked storage solutions are based on the Fibre Channel and iSCSI protocols. However, solutions based on SAS have emerged recently.

Fibre Channel SAN - To support a large number of servers running different operating systems and requiring large disk space, Fibre Channel SAN is suitable.

iSCSI SAN - If you are going to set up a few Windows or Linux servers for a small business, remote office or small department, iSCSI solutions are simple and easy to deploy.

SAS SAN - SAS (or Serial Attached SCSI) solutions are gaining momentum. From the perspectives of price range, performance and capacity, SAS solutions are positioned between FC and iSCSI solutions.
