10. SAN Disk StorageWhy use it? • Improved overall availability • Improve/Protect critical data • Increased disk utilization • Reduce data center rack/floor space • Reduce management costs as a % of storage costs • Non-disruptive scalability • Reduce/eliminate backup windows

11. SAN Disk StorageHardware Characteristics • Modular, building-block design for flexible configurations (performance/capacity ratio) • User Configurable • High speed and capacity disk drives to meet specific application requirements • global, dynamic hot spares • Intermixed RAID levels • Cache • Host connectivity • Redundant, hot-swappable components • No SPOF • Online microcode upgrade, LUN expansion, LUN mapping

12. SAN Disk StorageFully redundant solution • Critical components are hot swappable: • Controllers • Power supplies • Hard disk modules • Battery • Fan module • Fiber connection module • Cache • Non disruptive upgrade/maintenance: • Microcode upgrades • Parts replacement • RAID group creation • LUN addition • Unit addition

13. SAN Disk StorageSoftware • Performance • Cache • Path failover/load balancing software support • Optimization software • Data Protection/Business Continuance • LUN Security software • Local volume mirroring software • Remote copying software • Management • Easy-to-use GUI or CLI Software • “Call Home” diagnostic services • SNMP, out of band management options for popular network and SAN management applications
