All you need to know about Storage Area Networks
The amount of data of an average company doubles every year. Thus, companies who own 1TB of data today will own 32TB in five years. Storage networks help to tame such data quantities and to manage this data growth efficiently. Since stored data and information are the biggest asset of any company, anyone who is involved in the planning or the operation of IT systems requires a basic knowledge of the principle and the use of storage networks.
Storage Networks Explained covers the fundaments, techniques and functions of storage networks...

As customers and service providers begin to consolidate more and
more applications and workloads onto shared storage
infrastructures, it becomes increasingly difficult to coordinate
outages for planned downtime for things, such as hardware
refreshes. This difficulty is because many users, groups, or
customers might be using the shared storage infrastructure at the
same time. Users expect these infrastructures to be available 24/7,
so it is imperative that service outages that are required for
storage life-cycle management, cost/service-level optimization, and
any other planned downtime do...
