The numerous benefits of SAN are:-   It offers integral redundancy.-   Protection against vigorous failover.-   It helps to divert the web traffic automatically.-   Load-sharing to improve usual functionality of the business. An shared external storage system is required for disaster recovery and high storage availability which includes extensive application for support . Hence, the IT executives select storage devices sensibly in order to decrease the operating costs and increased returns. If the choice of storage device is wrong, then this may lead to low productivity and no cost effectiveness . The successful storage solution reduces the expense effectively thus improving the yields of the current business. The traditional SANs incur greater costs and management restrictions.

For example, you have storage capacity of around 100GB, out of which only half is required, but you will still need 100GB storage system even if the entire capacity remains unutilized for some years. This surplus storage capacity creates a major problem when the temporary drives to back up development systems utilize 100GB though they are not filled, will just be used for days or weeks while testing. In the present economic conditions, it is very tough for the IT firms and enterprises to allocate funds for future high availability storage devices.  But, the depiction of normal SAN urges to purchase a storage device that is effective and aids in future development. The firms that lack capital or monetary resources choose inexpensive and affordable SAN system for their set-up. The cheap SANs are not that competent as compared to high quality SANs.
