SAN Benefits
High availability and manageability
All servers access same storage Simplified management Service for multiple platforms

Application performance
SAN provides a dedicated network Database-management system/transaction processing Fastest record access

SAN
Storage area network

Fast scalability
Hundreds of servers Hundreds of storage devices Leverages existing infrastructure Overcomes distance limitations

Dedicated storage network

Allows servers to securely share storage (disk or tape)

Consolidates storage

Better backup, replication, and recovery options

Storage consolidation optimizes total cost of ownership

SAN Delivers Business Benefits

Consolidate storage and servers to reduce costs
Fewer resources to manage Reduce energy consumption as much as 70 percent

Business continuity
Storage consolidation enables business continuity Consolidation reduces risks via multiple backup devices with multiple points of control Consolidated datamanaged, controlled, and synchronized more efficiently

Business flexibility
Let IT manage growth more easily More information moves faster Meet your existing service level agreements

Manageability
Centralize storage management and automate control of devices Achieve storage-management efficiencies Fewer people manage more

Typical Customer IT Issues

Issue
Costs of information management rising Longer response time for applications
Decentralized storage is hard to manage and hard to change Need better processes for information backup and disaster recovery Company mergers require data migration and high-availability improvements

Deploying a SAN
Increases storage utilization
Scale servers separately from storage Allocate storage to applications when needed Improves storage utilization Mix operating system environments

Easily allocate more storage

Increases flexibility
Leverage storage replicas for testing patches and applications

Provides higher availability

Eliminate downtime caused by backups Drastically reduce recovery time

Delivers highest performance

SANs Simplify Backup and Restore

Centralized backup is nondisruptive
Backups performed on clones, not production No network impact Eliminate backup windows and improve service level agreements SAN

Drastically reduce recovery time

Restore in minutes instead of hours Back up incrementally to ATA for fast recovery Back up to tape or virtual tape library weekly

Clone Backup to disk, or

Backup server

Centralized backup lowers total cost of ownership

Reduce number of tape drives Reduce backup-software licenses
