Unified Physical Infrastructure (UPI) Strategies for Storage Networking

Panduit

Abstract:

Businesses are taking a closer look at how they store data and how effectively that data can be accessed. Today's storage infrastructure satisfies both external business demands, such as 24-hour availability and compliance with government regulations, and internal needs, such as cost control, fast access, scalability and reduced power consumption.

Traditional Direct-Attach Storage (DAS) methods persist in many data centers due to low off-the-shelf hardware costs. However, enterprise applications are currently driving the adoption of more centralized networking environments such as Storage Area Networks (SAN) or Network Attached Storage (NAS) to realize the benefits offered by consolidating applications, hardware, and cabling infrastructure. These innovations in storage consolidation are driving toward faster transport speeds within the data center - 10 Gb/s and beyond – and require robust physical infrastructure technologies to support these advancements.
