DAS, NAS, FC-SAN, E-SAN
Coexistent architectures DAS-Based on weak storage industry standards
NAS-Based on strong network industry standards
FC-SAN-SNIA standards will not happen this year
E-SAN - No standards yet and unsolved problems
Appropriate Applications for each Four Choices in NAS

DAS = Direct Attached Storage
Evolved from the Storage Industry 95% of all storage sold today 7 Major variations of SCSI Many implementations of FC Host file systems request blocks of data
with SCSI or FC commands Data is returned over SCSI buses or FC
loops

NAS = Network Attached Storage Based on strong remote file system standards like NFS and
CIFS Uses strong network standards for file requests and data Pioneered by Auspex Predicted by IDC to grow from $1.7 B to $6.6B in three
years or 67% per year. Outboard File System can be Fat or Thin Networks offer security and congestion control unlike FC-
SAN Necessary for NFS/CIFS file sharing

FC-SAN = Fibre Channel SAN SAN means FC-SAN to most folks “Hot” topic - yet misunderstood 7%-10% of shops in production Vision is heterogeneous Reality is homogeneous [proprietary]
EMC = ESN, Compaq=ENSA, HDS=FDN
Security Risks without standards Bottlenecks without standards Heterogeneous switch interoperability is the
main problem today

Deterrents to FC-SAN today
Source: Computerworld August 7, 2000 - Based on a recent survey of 100 IT professionals aware of FC-SAN first hand.

E-SAN = Ethernet SAN
Where block requests are sent over IP iSCSI proposed by CISCO/IBM to IETP 3ware’s Storage Control Protocol (SCP)
over TCP uses non-SCSI commands SCSI over UDP (SoIP) proposed by Nishan Adaptec is proposing a new transport layer
especially designed for SCSI transport over IP

FC switch vendors fight back by encapsulating FC commands over IP
Cisco and Brocade plan to encapsulate FC over TCP/IP
FCIP is being proposed by Gadzoox and Lucent for long distance WAN / MAN / SAN implementations.
This may lead to FC-SANs interconnected in long distance E-SANs

Why the Fibre Channel people are worried

Summary The location of the network determines the
architecture DAS, FC-SAN, E-SAN = blocks / data NAS = file requests / data Coexistent architectures Only NAS is based on strong network
industry & remote file system standards Only proprietary FC-SANs control the
security risks and bottlenecks of FC E-SAN is emerging with performance and
standards problems to be solved
