inventory management freeware
As an introduction to the use of storage networks, we elaborated upon the characteristics
of storage networks by illustrating the layering of the techniques for storage
networks, investigated various forms of storage networks in the I/O path and defined
storage networks in relation to data networks and voice networks. Storage resource sharing
was introduced as a first application of storage networks. Individually, disk storage
pooling, tape library partitioning, tape library sharing and data sharing were considered.
We described the redundant inventory management freeware I/O buses and multipathing software, redundant server and
cluster software, redundant disk subsystems and volume manager mirroring or disk subsystem
remote mirroring to increase the availability of applications and data, and finally
redundant storage virtualisation.
