SAN Storage Briefing
SAN Storage StorInt Briefing
Our Storage Area Network (SAN) Storage briefing was updated (April 2009) to reflect the most recent Storage Performance Council (SPC) and Exchange Solution Review Program (ESRP) performance results. This briefing can help IT staff understand SAN or fibre channel (FC) storage subsystem solutions, features, and software.
Specifically, the briefing helps storage and system admins:
- Select SAN storage subsystems
- Review SAN storage technology
- Tune SAN storage performance
- Evaluate SAN storage functionality

Over the years, we have given a number of presentations, podcasts and articles on storage devices, features and performance. For example, in the storage performance arena our Pump-up Array Performance article, presentation, and 4-part Array Performance podcast series are all available for free download. Other articles focused on SAN storage functionality including topics such as Clustered Block Storage, Storage Virtualization, Disaster Recovery, Thin Provisioning and Snapshot capabilities can also be found on our Articles page.
Furthermore, our SAN Storage briefing can be used by storage administrators and other IT staff seeking an introduction or tutorial on FC SAN, SAS, and/or SATA storage technology. Also, for those admins faced with managing data storage arrays, it can help optimize their SAN storage performance. As such, it can be used to help bring new storage admins up to speed as well as refresh the concepts and techniques of storage management and tuning for more experienced personnel.
SCI’s SAN Storage briefing is often purchased with our our NAS briefing. When used together, the two briefings provide an in-depth understanding of both the SAN and NAS alternative solutions for storing data.
