The Network Is Now the Storage, Too Network storage is about complexity. Sun's new offerings recognize that fact and focus on it with storage management software, physical infrastructure products, and storage-related services that help users reduce network storage complexity. Networks are the electronic glue of the e-Commerce economy.
Content is the custodial responsibility of network storage.
The Net economy exacts a heavy sacrifice from network storage. Network storage must be up and running all the time, quick to respond to both regular and unpredictable peak load demands, and quick to react to meet rapid storage growth. Otherwise, access to content is lost - and with it goes revenue. Those demands lead to network storage that is now radically and unalterably more complex than in the past. Sun's introduction of a series of products and services for managed storage networks demonstrates its willingness to help enterprises meet that challenge.
