What is Storage Networking About?
Information storage
• Storing information reliably and securely
• Accessing information reliably and securely
Information interconnect
� Creating a flexible, extensible
infrastructure
� Enabling just-in-time scalability
Information
Information logistics
� Managing information flow
� Deriving value from information
Effective storage networking solutions focus on information:
Not just storing information, but also accessing that information reliably
and securely
Not just high-speed interconnects, but flexible, extensible, and highly
scalable infrastructures
Not just securing information, but effectively managing information
resources to derive value
