White Paper Abstract:
Enterprises appreciate the cost and administrative advantages of consolidating storage platforms and deploying storage area networks (SANs). Evolving business requirements, however, underscore the need for high-density, high-speed networks that enable data center scalability and improve manageability while controlling IT costs. This white paper describes how Cisco Systems® can help customers protect their investment in mission-critical application services by meeting their storage networking and transport requirements in a way that redefines the data center and supports disaster recovery and business continuity.
