- The document discusses the evolution of IP storage networks and their impact on enterprise networks. It argues that as data growth and server virtualization increase pressure on networks, dedicated IP storage networks can provide better performance, availability and manageability compared to consolidating IP storage onto general enterprise networks.
- It provides examples of customers who saw benefits such as improved scalability, efficiency and issue resolution by separating their IP storage networks and allowing their storage teams to manage the dedicated storage networking infrastructure. Isolating the storage network traffic helped provide more predictable performance for mission-critical workloads.
