Greg Schulz Storage Quotations

Storage distance extension is a key data protection enabling technology in the storage architectures of medium- and large-scale organizations, while variations in SAN implementation call for flexibility in how these extensions are provided to network designers. Brocade is raising the bar for performance with FCIP and SAN Routing, while meeting the need to deliver flexible options to its customers.

Organizations are becoming buried under the amount of information accumulating at a rapid rate across the enterprise. Not only is much of this information redundant and presents an unnecessary burden on storage and resources, but it also exposes these organizations to regulatory and legal scrutiny.

It's kind of six of one, a half dozen of the other. Storage vendors are always going to advertise that their products will take the load off the server. Server vendors are going to say they'll take the load off your storage -- frankly, I'd be disappointed in a server vendor like IBM that didn't try to leverage its servers.
