While storage area networks (SANs) have become the ubiquitous deployment model for interconnecting data storage systems via high-speed networks such as Fibre Channel or iSCSI, IT administrators are now rethinking the traditional SAN in light of new technologies and economic models enabled by the cloud.
Cloud storage and enterprise-class cloud storage gateways have recently begun to overcome these limitations using a pay-as-you-go cost model, unlimited capacity, multi-site scalability and even cloud-based disaster recovery without dedicated infrastructure and resources.
In his session at the 10th International Cloud Expo, Nicos Vekiarides, CEO & Co-Founder of TwinStrata, will discuss how Cloud SANs are rapidly becoming a new approach to building and enhancing storage area networks.
