1 Storage Networking Evolution Jim Morin VP Strategic Planning jim_morin@cnt.com June 2001

2 Copyright © CNT 2 Local Storage Area Networking (SAN)  Local SAN replaces dedicated storage  server and storage consolidation  improved storage resource management Department Servers Ethernet SAN Disk Fibre Channel Data Center Servers Tape NAS Local SAN

3 Copyright © CNT 3 MAN/WAN Storage Area Networking  FCIP remote SAN interconnect  SANs interconnected for data protection, data deployment and data sharing  Any-to-any connectivity Department Servers Ethernet SAN Disk Fibre Channel Data Center Servers Tape NAS SAN DiskTape IP Network SAN Interconnect SAN Interconnect Ethernet Fibre Channel

4 Copyright © CNT 4 IP Access To FC Storage  iSCSI gateways & NIC drivers provide access to FC storage  Local or remote block I/O access to FC storage over Ethernet  Virtual drives, backup or data sharing Department Servers Ethernet SAN Disk Fibre Channel Data Center Servers Tape NAS IP Network SAN DiskTape Ethernet Fibre Channel Access to FC Storage Access to FC Storage Remote Servers

5 Copyright © CNT 5 IP Storage  iSCSI storage and NIC drivers provide NAS/FC alternative  Block I/O storage access over 10 G Ethernet to iSCSI storage  Replaces NAS/FC for single network architecture  New switches with high-end FPGA, optional FC ports Department Servers Ethernet FC Disk New Switch Data Center Servers NAS IP Network Ethernet New Switch iSCSI Storage iSCSI Disk & Tape Ethernet Remote Servers

6 Copyright © CNT 6 Future Is Bright for Storage Networking!  Backup/restore  Backup to tape devices in remote locations  Eliminates manual handling and transportation to offsite location  Secure archiving and timely retrieval  Data replication  Real time data mirror to multiple storage disks  Connection of disks over geographically separate locations  Reduces risk of disasters, improves business continuity  Clustering  Content distribution  Video  on-line entertainment, streaming video, digital video distribution  Other …. Today’s Applications Future
