Storage
management over the WAN?!?!
Are you kidding?
Bandwidth is too expensive. WAN latency kills the applications. SAN
replication and remote backup are too expensive!
That was yesterday. This is today. New technologies have emerged to
address all of these challenges and they are not as expensive as you
might guess. Wouldn't it be nice if the Exchange servers were replicated
to another site and could take over automatically if the main servers
were compromised? What about SQL, Oracle, and file servers?
How about backups? Wouldn't it be great if the backup system could
be replicated off site, eliminating the liability of tapes falling
into the wrong hands or just avoiding the costs and hassles of tape
backup? What about sharing files over the WAN without a performance
compromise. It might sound impossible, but other organizations are
successfully doing it today.
Traditional storage applications (file sharing, email serving, backup
systems, etc.) tend to buckle under the bandwidth and latency constraints
of the WAN, but new technologies address these shortcomings and allow
storage to flow across the WAN in ways you could never imagine.
This lecture explores the latest technologies and solutions for managing
storage and protecting data across wide area networks. |
