SAN - STORAGE AREA NETWORK - where to start (for beginner)

Hi,

Welcome to our blog.
This article focuses on basics of SAN which will help you to understand role of SAN in Data Centers and in cloud environment.

SAN (Storage Area Network)

Definition - It is a network which provides faster input output of data with redundancy and also provides space to store data

Advantages -
1. Faster IO ....(Min. 1Gbps - Max 32 Gbps speed)

Note- Gbps (Giga Bit Per Second) it is unit to major speed of SAN infrastructure.

2. Redundancy
3. Security
4. Centralized Management of data
5. Serverless Backup
6. LAN Free Backup
7. Scalability
8. N. number of server connection
9. Heterogeneous data Storage
10. BLOCK Level Access
11. High Availability

Disadvantage -
Costly - compared any other IT technologies this technology is costly


SAN it is heart of data center. For any customer data is very important and SAN meets all requirements of the customer. Without SAN we can not imagine Data center even cloud also.

Now a Days Cloud Technologies are booming in the market, but the base is OS, Networking, Virtualization and SAN. So if you are looking to become master in Cloud technologies, these technology knowledge you must have.

How to create Azure Virtual Machine

Hi, Welcome to Our Blog. Before Creating Azure Virtual Machine, Lets understand few important terms. Azure Virtual Machine: Virtual machines are based on computer architectures and provide functionality of a physical computer. Their implementations may involve specialized hardware, software, or a combination. Azure Virtual Machines gives you the flexibility of virtualisation for a wide range of computing solutions—development and testing, running applications and extending your datacenter. It is the freedom of open-source software configured the way you need it. It is as if it was another rack in your datacenter, giving you the power to deploy an application in seconds instead of weeks. Azure Virtual Network: Azure Virtual Network enables many types of Azure resources, such as Azure Virtual Machines (VM), to securely communicate with each other, the internet, and on-premises networks. A virtual network is scoped to a single region; however, multiple virtual networ...

Azure Load balancer

Important Terms: Azure load balancer overview Load balancing provides a higher level of availability by spreading incoming requests across multiple virtual machines. An Azure load balancer is a Layer-4 (TCP, UDP) load balancer that provides high availability by distributing incoming traffic among healthy VMs. A load balancer health probe monitors a given port on each VM and only distributes traffic to an operational VM. You define a front-end IP configuration that contains one or more public IP addresses. This front-end IP configuration allows your load balancer and applications to be accessible over the Internet. Virtual machines connect to a load balancer using their virtual network interface card (NIC). To distribute traffic to the VMs, a back-end address pool contains the IP addresses of the virtual (NICs) connected to the load balancer. To control the flow of traffic, you define load balancer rules for specific ports and protocols that map to your VMs. ...
