SAN software retrospective
- looking back at storage market
history
Editor's comments:- when I started this "SAN
software page" in 2000 - the idea was still new.
You have to
remember that in those days most corporate storage was still DAS (mostly
parallel SCSI) - and
iSCSI was still a year or
so in the future.
But our readers were big storage users as you can see
from the top 5 subjects viewed in December 2000 - which were:-
1 -
backup software
2 -
FC SAN switches
3
- RAID systems
4 -
optical jukeboxes and
5 - SAN - (that meant "FC
SAN" - as there was no "IP SAN" in those days).
That's
quite different to what readers are searching for today - as you can see in the
table on the right.
Nowadays - all serious enterprise
software has to be "SAN-aware"
so there's no need to have a separate page for this subject. | |
