Introduction
This paper talks about storage within SANs. It is easier than ever to implement a badly laid out SAN, with the levels of abstraction and data sharing made possible through this technology.

Before that, though, it's worthwhile taking a journey into the past to find out why all this stuff exists, and why there are so many acronyms in the storage industry.
