Innovations - SAN • Distributed clusters • Over provisioning • Tiered storage advancements • Stretching clusters • Remote replication
Array-based remote replication • Remote snapshots • Array-based asynchronous RM • Consistency groups • In the fabric
Intelligence in the fabric Early adopters: Top 5 initial objectives of intelligent storage network deployment
iSCSI update • Over 2,000 production implementations by EOY 2004 • More products coming out this year from major storage vendors • DAS to SAN conversions, departmental, FC to iSCSI conversions • The economics are too compelling to ignore
SATA, FATA, SAS • SATA has driven down storage TCO and enabled new applications and uses • FATA is the FC alternative to SATA • SAS is around the corner
Innovations - NAS • Distributed clusters • Scalable file system • Single level of management • WORM
Innovations - CAS • Distributed clusters • Single level of management • Immutability • Coalescence
Disk-to-disk backup • Block-based • NAS-based • VTL
