Time for SMBs to look at SANs

SMBs need to avoid getting lost in complex solutions and look at storage area networks for their security, according to Huawei Symantec's Scott Tam.

A storage area network (SAN) comprises the most powerful technology available for block-level storage and has been used by enterprises for years. For many SMBs, though, SANs were long out of reach due predominately to their high cost. In addition, many SMBs simply did not have the need for large amounts of scalable storage space and were therefore able to function adequately using direct-attached storage.

Two underlying factors have changed the storage landscape and have made SANs more important and accessible to SMBs. The first is the recent explosion of digital data, and the second is the increasing availability of entry-level, feature-packed SANs that are specially priced and designed for SMBs.
