Executive Summary
Networked storage offers to hardware independence, improved capacity utilization, and more effective storage administration. Fibre Channel SAN technology, however, suffers compatibility issues, networking is a black art to many storage admins, and SAN implementation may be expensive. NAS acceptance shows IP has a continued role in networked storage, and new high performance arrays suggest IP may yet have the last word. By implementing IP-based storage networks, small to medium-size IT shops can enjoy nearly the same benefits of shared data access and networked storage as large enterprises, but at lower costs.
