FEATURED WHITE PAPER
Building a Highly Reliable SAN
Don't let the deceptive nature of reliability ratings fool you when
you're choosing remote-system components. When purchasing components for
a Storage Area Network (SAN), many IT managers base their decisions
primarily on reliability ratings, yet realize no improvement in system
reliability after implementing the components. Basing component
purchases solely on ratings is a costly mistake, not only in terms of
money but also in terms of SAN efficiency
