Most large businesses today have more money invested in data than in facilities, equipment, inventory, or any other physical asset. With more of that data residing on computers - and only on computers- reliable access to it can be a matter of business life or death. A fifteen-day interruption in computer services, will cause eighty percent of businesses to experience critical loss in the ability to perform basic business functions, and thirty-eight percent to experience a total loss in the ability to perform these functions.

The scale of these estimates can be appreciated when one considers that rebuilding large file systems and/or databases from file-wise or table-wise back-up images is a very time consuming process. It is not unusual for a file-by-file recovery of a 10GByte file system to taken an entire eight-hour shift.

Another problem is the availability of time and system resources to adequately back up data. The introduction of 72 GB disk drives has driven maximum server size up dramatically, and this growth is expected to continue well beyond the year 2002, rapidly outpacing even newer tape capacities. Simply keeping up with back-up loads will require solutions capable of 24-hour, real-time back-up on actively changing file systems. Only a properly designed SAN infrastructure can provide the distributed back-up band-width and flexible access to data and back-up media necessary for real-time back-up and retrieval. Use of a SAN is imperative if valid snapshots of the data are to be gathered without impacting the users on a LAN/WAN network. This is where Computrad can help in the strategic design and implementation of your SAN."
