Author Peter Coffee weighs in with his opinion on the growing popularity of IP-based storage.(Dec. 5, 2000) URL: http://www.zdnet.com/sp/stories/main/0,10228,266004... - NAS or SANs? IT managers say 'both' Planet IT Who says you can't have it both ways? Despite rumblings in the industry that users have to choose between NAS or SANs, a growing number of innovative and cutting edge storage administrators are throwing caution to the wind and using both. (September 21, 2000) URL: http://www.planetit.com/techcenters/docs/storage/ne... - SAN and NAS: The convergence of data and storage sharing Enterprise Systems Journal Author Greg Schulz suggests that instead of debating SAN or NAS, we should be looking at how SAN/NAS, Ethernet and Gigabit "can be used to solve business issues in a complementary manner." This article gives a brief description of what a SAN and a NAS is and discusses how they should be used to complement each other.

Enter the vendor-sponsored and open labs concept, where integration testing is the highest priority. This is an especially important component with storage area networks (SANs). This article lets you take a glimpse at what some of the vendors are doing in this area (Aug. 7, 2000) URL: http://www.techweb.com/se/directlink.cgi?CRN2000080... - Open storage standard debate deepens VNUNet This article describes the latest move by the Open Storage Networking Initiative (OSNI) organization to support building storage networks using Gigabit Ethernet and network-attached storage (NAS) instead of fibre channel switches and other storage area network (SAN) technologies. The article describes the debate raging over the future of storage: NAS, SANs, or a combination of the two? (July 3, 2000) URL: http://www.vnunet.com/News/1105465 - 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) URL: http://www.samag.com/archive/0908/feature.shtml - Partnering for SAN success Network World Fusion Author Amy Larsen DeCarlo looks at the emergence of today's SAN systems capable of storing over 1 terabyte of data. She also examines the need for many of today's SAN vendors to forge partnerships with others in order to gain more visibility and exposure with customers. We found this to be a good analysis and commentary on the shifting sands (or, should we say, SANs?) in the current storage marketplace.

According to GartnerGroup, storage accounts for half the price of typical systems purchases and may amount to 80 percent in a couple of years. This column takes a look at storage area networks (SAN). According to the author, there needs to be a strategy to bridge the gap between easy-to-configure local network storage and high-performance SAN strategies. And a hybrid NAS/SAN solutions using NAS as the mechanism for controlling multi use access to the disk should be available soon.
