Indiana Jones were alive today, he'd eschew dull old archaeology for the thrills of distributed terabyte storage. At least, that's what the manufacturers would have us believe. But basing today's SANs on what today's technology can demonstrably do, without writing off the potential of what's under development, is the sanest approach.
A technology that promises to bridge the worlds of data storage and networking has passed a key point on its path to becoming a usable standard.
