3. Why Information Storage and Management?
• Information is the knowledge derived from data
• Growth of digital information has resulted in information
explosion
• We live in an on-command, on-demand world
We need information when and where required
• Increasing dependency on fast and reliable access to information
• Businesses seek to store, protect, optimize, and leverage the
information
To gain competitive advantage
To derive new business opportunity

help of underlying computing
components
Example: Servers, mainframes, laptop,
desktops, tablets, server clusters, etc.
• Consists of hardware and software
components
• Hardware components
Include CPU, memory, and input/output IP
(I/O) devices
• Software components
Include OS, device driver, file system,
volume manager, and so on

11. Storage Area Network
SAN
It is a high-speed, dedicated network of servers and shared storage devices.
• Centralizes storage and management
• Enables sharing of storage resources across multiple servers at
block level
• Meets increasing storage demands efficiently with better
economies of scale
• Common SAN deployments are:
Fibre Channel (FC) SAN: uses FC protocol for communication
IP SAN: uses IP-based protocols for communication

12. Understanding Fibre Channel
• High-speed network technology
Latest FC implementation supports speed up to 16 Gb/s
• Highly scalable
Theoretically, accommodate approximately 15 million devices

• Information is an organization’s most important asset
• Continuous access to information ensures smooth functioning of
business operations
• Cost of unavailability of information to an organization is greater
than ever

18. Causes of Information Unavailability
Disaster (<1% of Occurrences)
Natural or man made
• Flood
• Fire
• Earthquake
Unplanned Outages (20%)
Failure
• Database corruption
• Component (physical and/or virtual) failure
• Human error
Planned Outages (80%)
