Once you've decided a Storage Area Network (SAN) is the right solution for your business challenges, this phase in the SAN Info Center will help you determine your business requirements and design a SAN that meets those requirements.
In the Plan and Design Phase of the SAN Info Center, you can:
STEP 1: IDENTIFY YOUR BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS
Answer thought-provoking questions to help you define your business requirements, and learn how to determine which requirements you should target with SANs.
STEP 2: INVENTORY AND ANALYZE YOUR ENVIRONMENT
Determine whether the components in your existing infrastructure are suitable for redeployment in your SAN using an inventory template and practical advice.
STEP 3: DETERMINE YOUR SAN COMPONENTS
Create a list of the new hardware and software components required for your SAN, leveraging the inventory template you started in Step 2.
STEP 4: DEVELOP YOUR SAN DESIGN
Get experienced guidance and view multimedia presentations to help you design your SAN. View pre-tested SAN designs that demonstrate real-world configurations.
Each of these steps in the Plan and Design phase includes an overview summary on the topic as well as a list of additional tools and information that you can browse for more in-depth information.
You can start from Step 1 and read through each step sequentially, or simply go to the topic that interests you.
