Small SAN Configuration with Front/Back-Side SANs

In a small SAN deployment with multiple switches, the SANbox SSP is used to physically partition the front-side and back-side SANs. The storage and the StoreAge SVM must be placed on the back-side of the SAN, and the initiators are physically placed on the front-side of the SAN. See Figure 2-2.
