Introduction to IBM's SAN File System
|
Learn
how
the
IBM
TotalStorage
SAN
File
System
(based
on
IBM
Storage
Tank™
technology)
can
help
you
reduce
the
complexity
of
managing
files
within
SANs.
The
SAN
File
System
is
designed
as
a
highly
available
file
system
for
network
storage
—
one
that
is
designed
to
provide
a
network-based
heterogeneous
file
system
for
data
sharing
and
centralized
policy-based
storage
management
in
an
open
environment.
IBM
TotalStorage
SAN
File
System
is
designed
to
enable
host
systems
to
plug-in
to
a
common
SAN-wide
file
structure.
With
the
SAN
File
System,
files
and
file
systems
are
no
longer
managed
by
individual
computers
—
they
are
viewed
and
managed
as
a
centralized
IT
resource
with
a
single
point
of
administrative
control.
