Storage Area Network (SAN)
Attached Storage for DIS Data Center Servers
DIS now has storage available in the DIS data center that can be attached to
your server via optical fiber over the DIS Storage Area Network. The SAN
service provides large disk storage arrays to Windows and UNIX servers via a
specialized fiber network. For applications that have large storage
requirements (terabytes) or high input/output performance requirements, the SAN
service is designed to meet those needs.
