  1. Integrating SAN Management Applications Into An Appliance Ted Chen Executive Vice President Prisa Networks

  2. DATA MANAGEMENT (Veritas NetBackup, Legato Networker, CA ARCserve, etc.) STORAGE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT (Sun Highground SRM, BMC Software, Veritas, etc.) SHARED FILE SYSTEMS (ADIC, HP Transoft, IBM, etc.) SAN ELEMENT MANAGERS (Brocade WebTools, Gadzoox Ventana, etc.) SAN Software Layers Circa 1999

  3. DATA MANAGEMENT (Veritas NetBackup, Legato Networker, CA ARCserve, etc.) STORAGE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT (Sun Highground SRM, BMC Software, Veritas, etc.) SHARED FILE SYSTEMS (ADIC, HP Transoft, IBM, etc.) SAN VIRTUALIZATION (Datacore Software, Storage Apps, StoreAge, Compaq Versastor, etc.) SAN NETWORK MANAGEMENT (Prisa Networks VisualSAN, Veritas SANPoint Control, etc.) SAN ELEMENT MANAGERS (Brocade WebTools, Gadzoox Ventana, etc.) SAN Software Layers Today

  4. Element Managers • SAN Network Mgt • Virtualization • SRM • Data Management HBA SAN Storage Device Bridge Tape Storage Device Can It All Be Done In One “Appliance” ? Remote Console Appliance Management Server Fibre Channel Ethernet

  5. Tighter partnerships between software suppliers Integration between SAN applications Application programming interfaces and standards SAN Network Management Software Can Help Integrate Applications What is Needed

  6. Integration Challenges • GUI integration between different applications • Event management integration between different applications each with its own event management services • Storage systems management integration • Few APIs exist • Possible future help from CIM standardization efforts • SAN device integration and certification as devices proliferate • Possible future help from CIM standardization efforts • Integrating SAN virtualization and SAN network management software • Unifying management for Fibre Channel, IP Storage, and InfiniBand

  7. Application Integration Enablers • APIs: • Fibre Alliance MIB • SNIA HBA API • Brocade Fabric Access API • EMC Symmetrix API • Prisa’s “SANDAPI”, Veritas’s “V3 SAN Access Layer” • Protocols: • SNMP • XML, HTTP • CIM / XML (future) • WWW • Browser • Applets • HTTP server
