storage area network technology

Storage area network
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Not to be confused with Network-attached storage.

A storage area network (SAN) is a storage device (such as disk arrays, tape libraries, and optical jukeboxes) accessible to servers so the devices appear as locally attached to the operating system. A SAN typically has its own network of storage devices that are generally not accessible through the regular network by regular devices. The cost and complexity of SANs dropped in the late 2000s, allowing wider adoption across both enterprise and small to medium sized business environments.

A SAN alone does not provide the "file" abstraction, only block-level operations. However, file systems built on top of SANs do provide this abstraction, and are known as SAN filesystems or shared disk file systems.

[edit] Storage sharing
Organization

Historically, data centers first created "islands" of SCSI disk arrays as direct-attached storage (DAS), each dedicated to an application, and visible as a number of "virtual hard drives" (i.e. LUNs). Essentially, a SAN consolidates such storage islands together using a high-speed network.

Operating systems maintain their own file systems on them on dedicated, non-shared LUNs, as though they were local to themselves. If multiple systems were simply to attempt to share a LUN, these would interfere with each other and quickly corrupt the data. Any planned sharing of data on different computers within a LUN requires advanced solutions, such as SAN file systems or clustered computing.

Despite such issues, SANs help to increase storage capacity utilization, since multiple servers consolidate their private storage space onto the disk arrays.

Common uses of a SAN include provision of transactionally accessed data that require high-speed block-level access to the hard drives such as email servers, databases, and high usage file servers.
[edit] SAN and NAS

Network-attached storage (NAS), in contrast to SAN, uses file-based protocols such as NFS or SMB/CIFS where it is clear that the storage is remote, and computers request a portion of an abstract file rather than a disk block. Recently,[when?] the introduction of NAS heads[clarification needed] has allowed easy conversion of SAN storage to NAS.

Despite the differences between SAN and NAS, it is possible to create solutions that include both technologies, as shown in the diagram.

technology escrow

Technology Escrow Services

It’s not only about trust. It’s about intelligent risk management.

As the world’s largest and most experienced provider of technology escrow services, Iron Mountain helps more than 90% of the Fortune 1000 safeguard their investments, mitigate risk and maintain control over key software and intellectual property assets

A technology escrow agreement works much the same way as an insurance policy. When two parties enter into a licensor/licensee relationship, the source code for the technology in question is deposited into an escrow account that ensures:

• Licensors have a trusted partner who will securely hold onto the source code and release it only under very specific and controlled conditions
• Licensees may gain access to the source code for mission-critical software and other technologies should the licensor/developer no longer support it for any reason

Iron Mountain created the technology escrow industry in 1982 to help companies protect software source code, object code, data and other valuable technology assets. Today, we are the world’s leading provider of intellectual property management services, with a comprehensive range of Software Escrow, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Domain Name Records Management Solutions.

Of course, escrow is just a part of the solution. Studies have shown that 80-90% of all technology escrow deposits are incomplete—which is why Iron Mountain complements our Escrow Services with the industry’s most advanced Escrow Verification Services. Our trusted experts validate that the escrowed technology includes all the components necessary to read, recreate, maintain and support applications if there is ever a need for a deposit release. In short: verification makes sure that what you’re paying to escrow is what you actually need.

With Iron Mountain, your organization can benefit from:

• Access to the infrastructure, resources and expertise of the world’s most trusted provider of escrow services
• A single point-of-contact for all your escrow needs
• Solutions that protect developers, licensees, SaaS providers and subscribers alike

system administrator spam

"Undeliverable" Messages From "System Administrator" - Just Spam?

Hello,

I've been receiving lots of message for the past several days in my Outlook
2003/Exchange mailbox, ostensibly from "System Administrator," with a return
postmark icon instead of the usual envelope icon, and with a subject
beginning with "Undeliverable." Since Outlook considers this a "Report" and
not a "Message," I cannot check the headers to see if this is legitimately
from Exchange.

Also, I've been receiving many other returned e-mails from outside my network.

Please note that in both cases the subjects would imply that the original
e-mail was spam and not something I'd intended to send out.

What I'd like to determine is (1) are these messages/reports from my System
Administrator legitimate or are they spoofed?, and (2) is some worm or
malware sending out spam from within my SBS 2003 network, or is some spammer
out there using an address from my domain as their "From"?

Hopefully these questions are not out of the scope of this newsgroup.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
