SAN, NAS and storage fabric
Fiber channel and iSCSI, designed and built by someone who has spent years in the fabric rather than reading the deployment guide for the first time on your kit.
What this covers
- SAN and NAS specification, build and migration
- Fiber channel fabric — switches, zoning, HBAs and multipathing
- iSCSI networks kept properly isolated from general traffic
- Capacity and IOPS planning against your real workload, with room for growth
- Array replication and snapshots as part of a recovery plan
- Migrations between arrays and between vendors, with minimal downtime
Capacity is the easy half
Most storage quotes are written in terabytes because terabytes are easy to compare. What actually determines whether the array feels fast is IOPS, latency and how the fabric is laid out. An array with plenty of space and not enough spindles or paths will disappoint everyone who uses it, and no amount of extra capacity fixes it afterwards.
Projects this covers
- SAN replication between two sites for failover
- Fiber channel fabric build, zoning and multipathing
- iSCSI redesigned onto its own isolated network
- Array-to-array migration, including between vendors
- NAS tiering for archive and bulk data
- Snapshot and clone workflows for test environments
