From distributed to centralized storage

• Organization need storage that is transparently
  scalable, painlessly and centrally managed,
  always on and accessible and totally secure
  without having to worry about any of this for
  even a moment.

4
Distributed storage

• Inside servers-Modifications demand always
  downtime
• Dedicated to server-Not flexible in changes and
  storage cannot be utilized in another servers
• HA systems are not supported well-Fault
  situation demand human reaction

5
Centralized storage (SAN)

• Independent from servers-Flexible modifications
  on to fly
• Good support for high-availability
  systems-Systems can recover automatically in
  fault situations
• Can be managed from one point even when servers
  are down/not connected

Investment

• Initial investment for SAN is higher, but because
  of better management and more flexible use,
  R.O.I. is shorter and it should be considered as
  a infrastructure investment .

Trend (future)

• All big manufacturers have already stopped
  development for distributed corporate level disk
  systems. Every new disk system is based on fibre
  and sooner or later organizations have to move to
  SAN. Early adoption saves costs.

Disk and disk systems inside servers cannot be
used on SAN and therefore they are short-term
investment
