SAN Benefits
High availability and manageability
All servers access same storage Simplified management Service for multiple platforms

Application performance

SAN
Storage area network Dedicated storage network Allows servers to securely share storage (disk or tape) Consolidates storage

SAN provides a dedicated network Database-management system/transaction processing Fastest record access

Fast scalability
Hundreds of servers Hundreds of storage devices Leverages existing infrastructure Overcomes distance limitations

Better backup, replication, and recovery options Storage consolidation optimizes total cost of ownership

SAN Delivers Business Benefits

Consolidate storage and servers to reduce costs
Fewer resources to manage Reduce energy consumption as much as 70%

Business continuity
Storage consolidation enables business continuity Consolidation reduces risks through multiple backup devices with multiple points of control Consolidated datamanaged, controlled, and synchronized more efficiently

Business flexibility
Let IT manage growth more easily More information moves faster Meet your existing service level agreements

Manageability
Centralize storage management and automate control of devices Achieve storage-management efficiencies Fewer people manage more

Typical Customer IT Issues

Issue
Costs of information management rising Longer response time for applications Decentralized storage is hard to manage and hard to change Need better processes for information backup and disaster recovery Company mergers require data migration and high-availability improvements

EMC SAN Solution

Consolidate storage and storage management to lower total cost of ownership Balance server, storage, and SAN workloads for optimal performance Increase storage usage and simplify management by pooling storage Centralized SAN-attached storage simplifies data protection, backup, and information recovery SAN infrastructures provide the greatest storage flexibility, widest interoperability, and most sophisticated data-migration and -availability options

Deploying a SAN
Easily allocate more storage

Increases storage utilization

Scale servers separately from storage Allocate storage to applications when needed Improves storage utilization Mix operating system environments

Increases flexibility
Leverage storage replicas for testing patches and applications

Provides higher availability

Eliminate downtime caused by backups Drastically reduce recovery time
UNIX Windows Fibre Channel

Delivers highest performance

Eliminate islands of storage within physical servers using a SAN

SANs Simplify Backup and Restore

Centralized backup is nondisruptive
Backups performed on clones, not production No network impact Eliminate backup windows and improve service level agreements

SAN

Drastically reduce recovery time

Clone Backup to disk, or Backup server

Restore in minutes instead of hours Back up incrementally to ATA for fast recovery Back up to tape or virtual tape library weekly

...Backup to tape or virtual tape library

Centralized backup lowers total cost of ownership

Reduce number of tape drives Reduce backup-software licenses
