1 Jun 2005 | SAN/NAS
Initially, networks provided basic connectivity among users, bandwidth for the users, and access to applications that supported business processes, and the "intelligence" existed outside the network. Today, networks are vital to support business objectives and increase productivity and as such are expected to offer increased and diverse functionality as organisations face the demands for increasing scalability of the infrastructure; the need to integrate new complex technologies; challenges of new and daily threats from hackers and viruses; and the escalating costs of systems integration.

1 May 2005 | Compliance
Local, regional, national and international regulatory authorities make differing demands on organisations in terms of the data they are required to make available ’ what, when and for how long ’ so it’s crucial that end users understand how storage networking technology can help them achieve such compliance. Adopting an Information Lifecycle Management approach to data management, and using the appropriate hardware and software to implement such a strategy should ensure that, whether it’s Sarbanes-Oxley, Basel II or any other piece of legislation, your company stays on the right side of the law.
