technology computer structures to store and maintain
their mission-critical data and applications. In this scenario,
storage area networks (SANs) are the telecom munications
industry’s solution for improving the availability, resiliency,
performance, modularity and geographical distribution
of storage systems, offering corporations superior capacity
and connectivity for their vital information systems.
