EMC Eases SAN Management for E-Mail Storage

Summary:
EMC Corp.`s Storage Administrator for Exchange 2.1, or SAFE, simplifies storage management and improves data availability for SAN-based Microsoft Corp. Exchange implementations. Because storage area networks have the ability to expand storage capacity on the fly, and also are able to move storage resources among servers, they are a good fit for e-mail servers. Unfortunately, despite the rapid and virtually uncontrollable growth of e-mail storage, the daunting complexity of SANs has scared many IT managers away from an upgrade from DAS (direct-attached storage).
