ABSTRACT
The key to successful modern storage implementations is in assembling a system of components that interoperate well, can be cost effective, are easily managed, are able to expand to meet capacity demands, and have sufficient bandwidth so as to not become the bottleneck when placed into an enterprise-level storage environment. And by the way, the system must operate 24 × 7 × 365, be reliable and inexpensive, and must provide levels of protection including redundancy so as not to be a risk to the myriad assets it will handle.
