A Storage Area Network (SAN) is a network designed to attach computer storage devices such as disk array controllers and tape libraries to servers. As of 2006, SANs are most commonly found in enterprise storage. A SAN allows a machine to connect to remote targets such as disks and tape drives on a network for block level I/O.

This recent research paper by TheInfoPro goes in depth as to why deduplication has sustained its #1 position on the TIP Storage Backup and Recovery Technology Heat Index®. 15% of storage organizations have already deployed deduplication technology and 59% of storage organizations are planning to deploy “dedupe” by the end of 2008. Managing storage growth, capacity reporting and planning, and backup management are the top pain points for most storage organizations.

To derive maximal benefit from system virtualization, storage virtualization, as implemented in a SAN, is a necessary prerequisite. The mobility of a virtual machine (VM) and its data plays an important role in daily operational tasks from load balancing with VMotion™ and VMware Distributed Resource Manager (DRS) to system testing. The issues of availability and mobility really rise to the forefront in a disaster recovery scenario.
