Sorting Out Storage
In this issue of Windows 2000 Magazine, we help you sort out your storage options. We cover dynamic disks, one of Windows 2000’s (Win2K’s) data-storage enhancements, and how they improve storage manageability in Win2K. We show you how to use Windows 2000 Server’s (Win2K Server’s) Remote Storage Service (RSS) to manage hierarchical storage. We explain the fundamentals of Network Attached Storage (NAS) and Storage Area Network (SAN), and help you find out which of these data-storage solutions meets your needs. Finally, we go further into SAN topology and detail how SANs enhance data manageability and accessibility without adding high overhead costs.
