Technologies- Storage Area Network
• Implementing SAN
− Connects servers to storage over a specialized network
− Migrate application data from Server to Network Storage
• Data placed on a Storage Array
• Benefits
− Share capacity across applications & multiple servers
− If your data grow, simply allocate more disk space
− Data are in one place for easy backup & management
− Backup data won’t impact application server
• Can be done more frequently
• Snapshots to disk or backup to tape
• Restore from one location, with fresher data.
