Rather than being based on a specific vendor offering, 'Storage Networks' will appeal to any systems administrator, architect or manager with large data resources to manage.
Applicability of the technology to non-traditional IT buyers such as video and music production studios, medical diagnostic imaging and GIS applications is stressed. With the rapid adoption of digital processing for images and sound, storage networks have a great use outside of the data center. At the same time, the benefits of recoverability, performance and manageability required by the large 'glass house' operation will benefit any storage network user.
