SAN Concepts & Architecture
SAN Concepts and Architecture
is a one-day crash course on SAN technology, specifically designed for people who have a working knowledge of computer networks and server hardware. This class was originally designed to educate network architects and other IT decision-makers on SAN technology so that they would be better prepared to plan their own site's migration to storage area networks. Originally, entitled, Anticipating SANs, this class has been modified to suit a broader audience that includes consultants, technical industry analysts, and system engineers.

Our class begins by defining the problems of storage management in technical terms rather than through industry trend analysis. We then provide a simple technical definition of storage area networks, followed by a discussion of the common components that make up a SAN and the features to look for in those components. After completing the discussion of the SAN infrastructure, we move on to the applications that bring a SAN to life. These include disk storage optimization, backup and recovery, server clustering, and storage service provisioning.

We have had a number of requests from financial analysts regarding on site presentations of this material. If you are interested in having this presentation delivered at your site, please email us
