Storage Area Networks (SANs) have been around for a long time. The benefits are of having a SAN instead of direct attached storage on a standalone server are clear, sharing storage simplifies storage administration and adds flexibility. The cost and complexity of SANs has dropped significantly in the past decade, allowing wider adoption across both enterprise and small to medium sized business environments. The proliferation of virtualized infrastructures has made shared storage a necessity for most organizations today.
CCS has partnered with storage solutions providers that have differentiated technology built into their storage solutions and that meet the diverse needs of CCS’s customer base. CCS’s key partners in storage include Dell Compellent, Hatachi Data Systems and Tegile.
