The unrelenting growth of company files, e-mail, databases, and application data drives a constant need for more storage. But 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.

Since the storage area network (SAN) first broke the traditional server/storage bond, we've been helping organizations lower their total cost of storage ownership with our collaborative approach to supporting this innovative technology.

SANs make large storage pools shareable across the enterprise, centralize storage management, and dramatically improve storage utilization, resulting in lower costs. Yet they can simultaneously provide better performance for the applications that drive your business.

Consolidation in a storage area network (SAN) can alleviate much of the pain - but until recently, the only SAN choice was Fibre Channel, which is too costly and complex for most organizations. That's why today we carry emerging technologies including:

• iSCSI SAN
• Fibre channel SAN
• Converged iSCSI, FC, NAS Connectivity

With our fully redundant solutions you can leverage centralized storage to gain simpler management, data sharing, and improved availability. A single pool of storage makes allocating volumes easier, and improves backup and disaster recovery. You can grow on demand as your needs change and gain better performance through our architectures. Built-in intelligence delivers the highest levels of performance, scalability, and availability.

Benefits of Storage Area Network Consolidation:

• Increased productivity
• Maximum availability
• Increased asset utilization
• Scalability with better performance
• Simpler management and reduced administrative overhead
• Improved backup and disaster recovery
