The amount of organization data is going to get bigger as it
needs continuing to accumulate.
One of the most important problems is inability to scale the
growing storage requirement. Both providing too much and too little
capacity use much money, resources and time; but a good storage
solution takes into account present and future requirements and
assuring cost and space efficiency.
For example pooled storage makes it easier to provision, manage,
backup & grow. Also Storage Area Network (SAN) is one of the
products which is used in the storage solutions. It's a high-speed
sub network which makes storage devices available to all servers
through a LAN/WAN. Particularly it supports disk mirroring, backup
and restore, archival and retrieval of archived data, data
migration from one storage device to another and the sharing of
data among different servers in a network.
