Enterprise data centers include terabytes of data spread across an assortment of heterogeneous storage devices, interoperability problems are common, and storage administrators grapple with multiple vendor-specific tools. Network storage controllers offer a powerful new way to manage storage assets in a data center. A network storage controller, deployed in the storage area network (SAN) between servers and storage systems, presents a single virtual view of all storage resources. By moving intelligence into the network, network storage controllers give IT managers better visibility and control of all devices, and can provide increased interoperability with heterogeneous components.
Learn about the network storage controller architecture, and its ability to resolve many of the challenges of managing heterogeneous storage.
