Among them, the SAN (Storage Area Network) is widely concerned by the majority of users, and the focus of this program is being transferred from the hardware infrastructure to the software management platform. As the world’s leading network system management company, Tivoli Systems has been known for providing open, scalable, cross-platform technology management solutions. Then, in the management of the SAN, does Tivoli have any “high tactics”? To this end, the reporter recently interviewed Mr. Yu Kangnian, a technical consultant of Tivoli Systems. Mr. Yu first pointed out that "most of the data transmissions still go through the corporate LAN (Local Area Network).
