Project Summary
James Leckel and Greg Pepper are leading a project to create a strategic approach to centralized storage management. The project began earlier this year, and has been in the analysis and planning stages. The current centralized storage is costly and excessive for certain applications. Our SAN infrastructure connecting to this storage is also very costly on a per server basis. The storage management project seeks to create an effective strategy for storage, and to purchase an inexpensive, highly expandable storage unit that can be used as a lower tier of storage.
Status
Currently, the project team is evaluating storage vendors and products. The storage array will be an ISCSI solution with features such as storage virtualization and clustering.
