Running Head : Ensuring Reliability of SAN over IP

Ensuring reliability of SAN traffic over IP

Time outs are common problem for vendors designing their applications when it comes to providing access to data connected to SAN 's . Network latency is another problem that faces the vendors .When such problems occur , it may affect the smooth functioning of the whole system . There is always a solution to every problem . So , many methods have been used to ensure reliability of SAN traffic over IP . Now a day , many IT organizations are using technologies like

virtualization to reduce the cost of operation s , as well as to improve service reliability . The networks which support the virtualized storage area network s (SAN ) is an important challenge that is facing many vendors , in fact , the protection of datacenter communication sis an important challenge to the network administrators

In order to increase the reliability and performance over WAN and other networks , the end to end solution must be able to transport the storage traffic . An IP - San technology has been developed in order to maintain wire speed through put off storage traffic (Clark , 2003 . This technology is used for connecting storage across optical and IP infrastructures . Within the datacenter , SCSI is relied for the data to be delivered promptly and safely . In fact A Transmission Control protocol controls data recovery and congestion . But the main problem with this is reduced performance . On the contrary , a user datagram protocol (UDP ) can deliver superior performance . The best part...
