The Benefits of SAN (Storage Area Network)

There are many advantages to having a SAN (storage area network) for your business. Here are the top 5 benefits to why you should choose SAN:

1. Simple Storage– SAN can more simple to manage than other storage systems. It is easier to access information and also to increase capacity
2. Increased Efficiency – If your business has multiple locations then you can use the storage as who needs it the most regardless of where it is storage. Resources can be used more efficiently since they are used where they are needed most.
3. Maintenance – SAN works independently from the business’ servers. This means that if there are issues with the servers, SAN will be unaffected.
4. Management Tools – There are tools that can find and fix any fault without the need for specialist technical personnel to be involved. There are features where they can even alert the user that there are issues.
5. Disaster Recovery– Information can be copied to another business’ system in real time to another system at another location. Users will be able to access information in the case of any major problems or emergencies.
