Portal:Storage Networks


Welcome to Wikibon's Storage Networks (SN) Portal. The SN Portal is a resource for IT professionals interested in building resilient, cost effective and flexible enterprise storage infrastructure to support mission and business critical applications. Key technology themes in this portal include storage area networks (SAN), network attached storage (NAS), iSCSI, SAS, storage consolidation and related innovations. We welcome you to join Wikibon, browse the portal and participate. You can write a Wikitip, Ask a Question or attend a Peer Incite Research Meeting.

The Wikibon Storage Network Portal contains storage network industry research, articles, expert opinion, case studies, and storage network company profiles.

Check out these Peer Incite Podcasts related to storage networking:

1. Six noted industry experts rap about EMC's recent analysts meeting. (23:18)


2. Grant, a Sr. Storage Admin at a large bank discusses how heterogeneous storage virtualization can help reduce the budget for 2009. (20 Mins)


3. Wikibon's summary of IBM's 'stealthy' XIV announcement. (9:07)

Consider clustered storage when planning unstructured data strategies

IT organizations should continue to invest in traditional arrays for transactional systems. IT organizations should continue to implement systems that reduce the major risks that may exist in unstructured data with simple archive systems. However, IT organizations should minimize their investments in the exploitation of unstructured data and make no major changes in unstructured data management until distributed clustered storage networks become generally available for use in 2008 and onwards.

Featured Case Study

Financial Firm Implements Tiered Storage

CS2 is a financial organization and significant merger and acquisition activity has led to a mixture of storage and storage management tools behind nine SANs, with poor storage utilization. The charge back system does not reflect all the storage costs and has led to Symmetrix being used extensively for tier 2 storage.

Featured How-to Note

Implementing Tiered Storage

Traditional methods of managing storage use either a “one size fits all” strategy, or a "Mix, Match and Manage" approach introducing many different storage pools. The challenge of the first technique is high equipment cost, whereas the latter often brings higher labor costs to manage the multiple storage pools all with different software, services and procedures. Creating storage tiers with more granularity with a single management approach begins to address the problems that one size does not fit all and storage pools are hard to manage.

Storage Virtualization Design and Deployment

A main impediment to storage virtualization is the lack of multiple storage vendor (heterogeneous) support within available virtualization technologies. This inhibits deployment across a data center. The only practical approach is either to implement a single vendor solution across the whole of the data center (practical only for small and some medium size data centers) or to implement virtualization in one or more of the largest storage pools within a data center.
