Finding Room: A Look at Storage and Server Technology
There are now more ways to inexpensively store and manage your data than ever before. We are reaping the R&D benefits that pushed the growth of disk drive capacity by 60% per year in the '90s, with prices plummeting in lockstep. R&D also transformed the once-expensive, and frustratingly complex, Fibre Channel SAN technology into plug-in PCI cards, a simple hub, and just a little added software.
Finding your way through the technological lingo and sales pitches can be tricky. Read what we have to say about what's new, what's good and what works.

Physical security, version control, and file system compatibility are problematic, and the data on each drive is only accessible to a single workstation at any given time.
