It makes good business sense to ensure that your commercial performance is optimised by having the best IT solutions in place, and not crippled by out dated systems. As you grow you will need to expand your IT systems and rather than buying large servers with tons of internal disk space, it may make more sense for your company to consider the benefits of SAN storage. The number one advantage from installing a SAN is better disk utilisation. Having all your storage is tied together through a centralized storage network affords you the ability to manage everything in one. Sharing the central pool of storage resources at the network level and assigning that storage more intelligently to the servers that need it is now possible, and removes the need to buy masses of disks and stick them in huge expensive servers so that you can then grow into. All the disk space that is not currently being used amount to wasted revenue and lies dormant until you need more space. Granted the cost of implementing this facility are initially higher than more traditional methods, should your servers be running applications that are crucial to your business and disaster strikes, your recovery costs and loss of revenue will quickly mount up.
