Abstract:
Scalability—or performance? In the past, storage area network (SAN) architects had to choose one over the other with regard
to their SANs. Now, however, compromise is no longer necessary. Stackable switch solutions allow for seamless scaling and
high performance—which means you can breathe as easily (...)

Abstract:
The days of storage area networks (SANs) built with hubs and based on private, arbitrated loops are gone. Today’s fully public
switches—which include a variety of switch features—make managing large SANs a lot easier. The key to a flexible SAN is the
switch’s ability to create zones, which allows (...)
