Abstract:
The days of storage area networks (SANs) built with hubs and based on private, arbitrated loops are gone. Today’s fully public
switches—which include a variety of switch features—make managing large SANs a lot easier. The key to a flexible SAN is the
switch’s ability to create zones, which allows (...)
