managers are frustrated. They don't want to be in the
interoperability market and they shouldn't have to be. This
article discusses those frustrations and the three major
systems-management vendors who say they can solve their problems.

Migrating
Solaris to a storage area network Sys Admin Magazine |
|
Author Greg Schuweiler
describes how he and three other UNIX system administrators
implemented a SAN at a large research clinic, medical center and
hospital in the Midwest. Prior to the SAN implementation, their
network infrastructure consisted of multiple operating systems and
hardware platforms, such as: Solaris, HP, AIX, Linux, and a few
SCO boxes. This is a good, real-world example of how today's
organizations grow their storage resources to make the least
impact on an organization. (August 2000) |

Year
of the SAN? - Enterprise Magazine |
|
Many organizations plan
to implement storage area networks, but they are wary of the hype
surrounding the technology and the interoperability problems.
According to the author of this article, vendors are working to
create SAN standards, but establishing standards will take time.
Next year, not this year, is more likely to be the year of the
SAN, predicts this author. |

Shifting
SANs - PC Week |
|
The SAN market has
finally evolved to the point where storage area network vendors
can actually back up some of the promises they made in their
initial sales pitches more than a year ago. However, PC Week Labs
has found that SANs must still overcome some daunting challenges,
including a lack of interoperability between Fibre Channel
products from different vendors and a shortage of management
utilitiesbefore they can be classified as must-have
technologies. (Feb. 7th, 2000) |
