Your storage area network (SAN) is a critical part of your business operation and workflow. Each of your components must be in good working order to ensure your data are safe and available. Your SAN must be performing at the throughput required in order to achieve increasingly higher data throughput requirements for more modern video codecs and workflows.
Over time advances in technology inevitably result in older storage components like RAID arrays being discontinued by their manufacturers to make way for new models with more advanced capabilities. Drive capacities and technologies continue to improve, enabling faster, larger, more reliable, and lower power consuming options. New connectivity options like Thunderbolt, XbaseT Ethernet, Fibre Channel and SAS options are available that were simply not offered in the past. How does your current SAN storage system compare to newer models.
Over time RAID controllers, cache battery backup modules, and drive modules fail, needing to be replaced. Discontinued models result in spare parts kits becoming difficult or impossible to acquire. Have you been limping along with components that need to be replaced? Do you even know if replacements are still available?
Perhaps your SAN was great when you were a smaller organization or when data rates were less than more modern codecs or file sizes require. It may be possible to grow your existing system with new solutions that support disparate storage subsystems to allow you to grow your system on top of the foundation of your existing equipment investment. Do you know how?
