Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, SEC, Basel Capital Accord… legislation, governmental recommendations and international banking agreements, coupled with your increased reliance upon transactional data and general security improvements are all demanding more robust Data Center and Storage Area Networks (SANs) in your organization. New information growth is staggering, with over 5 exabytes (5,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes) of new information being generated each year, 800 megabytes for every man, woman, and child on earth[1]. "Zerodowntime" is becoming the watchword in this brave new world of specialized information technology. Your data center and SANs are likely your most concentrated areas of enterprise or service provider hardware, software and telecommunications equipment. They also may represent the largest components of your total I.T. hardware budget and are growing faster than any other areas of your organization. You require robust designs, fast start-ups and reliable performance at all times in order to maximize customer transactions, interactions and revenues.
