Hi everyone,
Our organization is evaluating new ways to handle rising data volumes and performance demands. We’re reaching the limits of direct-attached and basic network storage, especially with virtualization, databases, and backup workloads all competing for resources. We want something scalable and reliable for the next several years.
While discussing upgrades with our team, we realized that moving critical workloads onto a storage area network could centralize storage and improve performance across departments. Still, we want to understand the practical side before committing.
For those with experience, how was your setup and scaling process? We’re interested in performance tuning, redundancy planning, and balancing cost versus speed with hybrid storage tiers.
How complex is day-to-day management, and what skills are most important for administrators? Have you faced compatibility or migration challenges?
Any real-world insights, best practices, or lessons learned would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
