The network attached storage (NAS) model, based on network file systems (NFSs), creates a number of issues for high-performance
computing clusters (HPCC) systems. NFS is oriented toward access, not performance—which means that it does not scale as needed

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 (...)
