|  | storage basics two--customer interactions and service procedures
(web) for customer engineers, hardware support specialists, account
support engineers, response center engineers
|  | storage basics three--coaching session (live), for those engineers
for whom storage will be a significant part of their responsibility

SAN: Storage Area Network-a high availability,
high performance, dedicated storage network that connects servers
and storage in a secure, flexible, and scalable architecture
SAM: Storage Area Management-"the centralized management of resources
and data across a storage domain, providing shared services to a group
of servers and their applications" (as defined by the Gartner Group)
Federated storage: physically separate domain(s), types, and vendors
of networked storage devices that operate as one logical resource
Fsam: (pronounced "f-sam") a naturally scalable environment of federated
storage resources. When fully implemented, Fsam will enable organizations
to use any of their storage resources to manage unpredictable capacity
demand and staffing needs while sustaining uninterrupted business
operations. |
