SAS, iSCSI and even InfiniBand offer alternative ways to connect servers to storage and are starting to steal some of Fibre Channel's thunder. But while they are, respectively, cheaper and faster than Fibre Channel for direct-attached storage, that doesn't mean the technology is doomed.

The Storage Management Initiative Specification was created so that vendors could share application programming interfaces to allow interoperability between hardware through a single pane of glass. Users, small vendors and analysts say the standard falls far short because the most important APIs have been left out.

(Source: SEPATON) ESG Lab reviews SEPATON's enterprise-class virtual tape library systems to validate backup/restore performance of over 17TB per hour, dramatically accelerating data protection.  In addition, SEPATON's DeltaStor de-duplication software exceeded company claims of 50:1 de-dupe ratios to help companies mitigate growing disk storage costs.

Over the next two years network based storage virtualization will remain a niche, while thin provisioning will enjoy rapid adoption in the enterprise. And, applying network-based storage virtualization to pool arrays isn't likely to improve this environment if efficient utilization hasn't already been achieved.
