Server-attached storage poses a number of challenges to storage administrators, most notably the extensive time consumed by common server management tasks. Removing storage from individual servers and placing it on a storage area network from XIOtech eases the administrative burden. This white paper provides a detailed view of how XIOtech's virtualized storage architecture gives administrators their lives back while providing a significant return on investment. This paper is intended for IT managers, system administrators, and other IT professionals who are familiar with enterprise storage technology. (March 18, 2002)
