Infrastructure scalable and flexible Storage

Today the companies hold more data and there is a tendency to growth of the information. Is this your case? If your company information is growing rapidly, customers are increasing, transactions are becoming heavier and you need speed. We recommend SAN. But what is SAN? 

SAN is a network that focuses on creating connectivity between storage nodes and servers. It is a network that combines the best bus in mainframe and large profits in relation to high speed and completeness of the information distance. 
SAN is a dedicated high performance network that moves information between heterogeneous servers and storage servers and storage. Being a separate network to avoid any conflict between clients and servers.

It is a network that has the following characteristics: 

• Releases the bandwidth consumption. 
• It is scalable, allowing increased capacity without interruption. 
• Provides valuable information to remote disaster recovery. 
• Provides centralized control. 
• Transfer storage management tasks from application servers and speeds across the network allowing users to benefit from rapid access to data.

• SAN is based on a fiber optic channel that combines high performance of the interface I/O and the distance of the network connectivity.
• Allows concurrent access to SAN disks or libraries two or more servers for high speed fiber optics. 
• Using this technology, hubs and switches enable high-speed server of storage, storage to storage and server to server. 
• SAN also has the potential to enable long cable, singlemode fiber reaching distances up to 10 kilometers. 
• SAN/VIA (Virtual Interface Architecture) is ideal for clustering and mirroring applications. 
• The ability to connect existing SCSI devices to computers using SAN adapters SCSI to fiber, it also preserves the investment made in an existing storage. This will help the growth of the SAN infrastructure. 
• Performance: SAN allows concurrent access to the arrangements of discs or tapes for two or more servers via high speed fiber channel. 
• Availability: SAN owns a disaster tolerance and data can be redirected using about FC SAN 10 kilometers. 
• Scalability: Scalability is inherent to the SAN architecture, depending on the network and SAN management tools used. 
• Interoperability: As a LAN/WAN that can use a variety of technologies such as serial SCSI, ESCON, FICON, SSA, ATM, SONET, etc. This allows for easy mobility and support information. Migration and replication of file data between heterogeneous environments. 
• SAN responds better to the growing needs of increasing flows of information. It has a better response time in milliseconds that other infrastructure. 

Summary ACT will provide you: The independent server and storage, high performance interfaces I/O with network connectivity, high scalability, centralized management of data, absence of conflicts with the network traffic, Alta availability using clustering, independent of the Backup Server, Interoperability.
