Data Management Challenges
Volume of data generated by each new major application has expanded exponentially
Need to be assured that data is protected, recoverable and always available
Everyone in the enterprise needs information access to perform their jobs
Disparate, non-integrated computing platforms need to share information
![Page 4: Increasing Manageability and Availability for SANs: SANPoint Foundation Suite HA](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56814dfd550346895dbb6932/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
IT Challenges/Trends
Managing data with fewer IT resources
Managing hardware and software changes on a daily basis
Delivering timing system and application performance
Companies are approaching performance and scalability limits with existing infrastructure
![Page 5: Increasing Manageability and Availability for SANs: SANPoint Foundation Suite HA](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56814dfd550346895dbb6932/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
High Availability Trends
Storage Area Networks (SANs)• Centralized management
• Provides scalable growth to meet increasing storage demands
• Reduces administrative overhead
• Increases application availability
• Off-host backup
• Storage and server consolidation
Clustered Environments• Ideal for fast application failover in the event of hardware
failure
• Offers load balancing to maximize compute power throughout the cluster

Moving from host to SAN-based data
Today’s data is host-based, even if stored in SAN-based storage
Moving control of that data from host to host exacts an unacceptable penalty
SAN-aware data storage will enable:• Improved HA architectures• Framework for existing applications• Infrastructure for new parallel applications• Simplified content/media serving
VERITAS is introducing a new solution for SAN data sharing
![Page 8: Increasing Manageability and Availability for SANs: SANPoint Foundation Suite HA](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56814dfd550346895dbb6932/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
