IT Storage Challenges
What storage technology and architecture to...
Improve data integrity, availability, shareability and security Data is increasingly recognized as assets Slow down storage costs to meet budget constraints
Tremendous increase in storage needs Raw storage prices are going down but data management cost is going way up
Very poor use of disk space because of fragmentation and management Scale storage to support very large Database files
Restricted by 'partitions' and server Operating System & application boundaries Distance and connectivity limitation
Enhance data management to support e-business applications Maintain performance and availability during high usage and activities

Storage
Benefits
Each server or client has its own dedicated storage Inexpensive
Business Problem
Each server or client has its own dedicated storage
Major investment of storage is tied to server Once server is replaced, storage investment is lost Migration of data to new storage is required Underutilized storage can not be shared by other servers or clients Data in storage can not be accessed by other servers or clients Storage must be managed as individual entities Non-centralized Management & Data Protection

What is a SAN?
A Storage Area Network (SAN) is a dedicated high-speed network of directly connected storage elements designed to move large amounts of data between host independent, distributed storage devices. Ownership of the storage resources are "de-coupled" from the servers.
SAN Benefits
Storage consolidation Data sharing Improved backup and recovery Disaster Tolerance Easier data management Higher availability Improved data access Flexibility for growth Security Easier migration to new technologies Automanted centralized policy-based data management

Tivoli SANergy allows users on Windows NT, Windows 2000, Sun, and Linux servers to share the same data, today
SANergy is added to existing native Network File Systems Control information is transported over the LAN to Meta Data Server (MDC) Data is moved over the SAN Access control is via existing network file access security mechanisms Storage management functions such as Tivoli Storage Manager installable on Meta Data Server

What is NAS?
Network attached storage (NAS) is a LAN-attached, high-performance storage appliance that provides shared data to clients and other servers on that network.
Dedicated Open Scalable Flexible Reliable Simple Fully integrated, optimized solution system design for easy integration and migration GBs to TBs Supports multiple file protocols Redundant components and task-tuned software installation and ongoing systems management
