SAN 101 A Foundation for Understanding Storage Area Networks Special thanks to our SAN 101 sponsors whose support helped bring you this course:ObjectivesThis training prepares students to:Use and understand basic SAN terminologyDistinguish SAN from NAS and other storage network technologiesUnderstand where SANs can help users the mostDescribe the configuration of SANs in the point-to-point, arbitrated loop, and switched fabric topologies Cite the performance gains available through use of SAN technologyRecognize the distinguishing features of the main SAN products in today’s market17 August 1999Agenda Basic terms and concepts Advantages of SANs SAN and NAS“A Fibre Channel Primer” Products and features High-performance backup Storage consolidation/expansion Disaster protectionIntroduction to SANsSAN connectivitySAN componentsSAN applications17 August 1999What is a Storage Area Network?A dedicated network for servers and storage systemsLANSAN17 August 1999Why Give Storage Its Own Network?A good LAN does not make a good SAN !LANs use different protocols, different toolsLANs are physically insecure at the desktop and potentially vulnerable at the serverLANs seldom have spare capacity for storage networkingLANs are tuned to favor short, “bursty” user transmissions vs large, continuous data transfersSAN StorageRAID: “Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks”Fault-tolerant grouping of disks that server sees as a single disk volumeCombination of parity-checking, mirroring, stripingSelf-contained, manageable unit of storageJBOD: “Just a Bunch of Disks”Drives independently attached to the I/O channelScaleable, but requires server to manage multiple volumesDo not provide protection in case of drive failure17 August 1999SAN ComponentsServers with host bus adaptersStorage systems RAIDJBODTapeOpticalHubs and switchesBridges and extendersSAN management software17 August 1999Promise of SAN Massively extended scalability Greatly enhanced device connectivity Storage consolidation LAN-f
