Storage Administrator/Manager/Architect
Storage and SAN administrators face increasing pressure to bring new projects and applications online faster, to ensure those applications perform as expected, and to guarantee nearly 100% data availability to the users. While new applications get provisioned, which can introduce new problems, existing problems must be dealt with quickly.
Resolving trouble tickets can be exceedingly time-consuming and the SAN is usually the first thing to blame. There’s a tremendous need to isolate and resolve problems quickly—in a matter of minutes or hours as opposed to days or weeks. The first question to resolve is usually whether or not the SAN switch or storage system is the root cause of the application problem.
Though hard to achieve, big dividends are paid if problems can be anticipated and mitigated before they are reported by application users. Change often causes application-related problems, so there’s a critical need to establish a concrete method for validating interoperability and performance on new or changed server, storage, or network devices – before introducing the application into the production environment.
