你是怎么放置你的钞票的?对一般人来说,只会使用一个钱包,把各种面额的钞票放进去,并把大面额的钱和小面额的钱分别放在不同的夹层里。在这个过程中,首先是“合”——使用一个钱包;然后是“分”——不同的钱放在不同的夹层里。网域(Network Appliance)公司对网络存储架构的理念,也是这样的合中有分。所谓的合,指的是“统一化存储”的方案,就是把SAN和NAS融合,网域称之为Fabric Attached Storage(FAS);所谓的分,是指将数据进行区别,然后以不同的方式来存储。合与分的统一,实现的目标是不同解决方案采用相同的操作系统,从而降低用户管理的复杂性和总拥有成本,并保护用户的投资。网域的理念是:用户买一个产品,可以根据应用来选择采用何种存储技术。少数应用是一定要用SAN或一定要用NAS的,但90％以上的应用是既可用SAN也可用NAS的。网域提供FAS产品,就是为了既可支持 How do you place your banknotes? For the average person, only one wallet is used, and various denominations of banknotes are put in, with large denominations of money and small denominations of money placed in separate layers. In the process, the first is “amalgam” - a wallet is used; then a “minute” - different money is placed in different layers. The same is true of Network Appliance’s concept of network storage architecture. The so-called co-ordination, refers to the “unified storage” program is to SAN and NAS integration, the domain called Fabric Attached Storage (FAS); so-called points, refers to the data to be distinguished, and then in a different way To store. The unity of fit and match, the goal is to achieve the same solution using different operating systems, thereby reducing the complexity of user management and total cost of ownership, and to protect the user’s investment. The idea of ​​a domain is: Users buy a product that can choose which storage technology to use based on the application. A few applications must use the SAN or must use the NAS, but more than 90% of the applications are available both SAN and NAS. Domain to provide FAS products, is to support both
