Overview:
For IT managers in small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), increasing storage capacity can be a troubling prospect. Existing architectures in most SMBs rely on server-based approaches that are difficult to manage and have limited scalability. Read this paper to learn about a cost-effective new approach to growing and managing storage capacity in your business.

While storage area networks (SAN) can accommodate massive data growth and improve resource management, SANs have been typically out of budget for small businesses. This paper explores a cost-effective approach to SAN that is practical for SMBs and improves storage administration by enabling:

• Low-cost SAN hardware and innovative software
• Increased scalability, higher performance and a highly available SAN infrastructure
• Significant cost savings
• Additional IT support staff to be reduced
• Increased application availability
