But that, of course, bleeds over into the federal government in that the amount of data that the government needs to keep track of is increasing exponentially as well, Tang says. To keep up with that rapid growth in storage requirements, users are looking for alternatives to the previous technologies which were limited in performance and their ability to scale. Gadzoox Networks key product is its Capellix 3000 modular switch, the industry s first SAN switch to be awarded Yes, Test and Approved program certification. The switch is designed to be easily integrated into Novell environments without the need of external driver patches. The switch provides record setting performance as well as unmatched scalability for very large storage requirements, such as those typically seen within the government sector, Tang says.
SANs provide a very unique means to manage that data.
