Overview:
Storage Area Networks (SANs) play an increasingly critical role in application performance and the function of information throughout an enterprise. More-and-more, organizations are looking to Service Level Agreements (SLAs) as a means to quantify and enforce SAN effectiveness. This paper explains that many enterprises think of SAN SLAs in terms of uptime alone. However, a SAN SLA must encompass performance and resource usage metrics as well. Otherwise, enterprises can find themselves with a SAN that's up but performing so poorly as to make applications unstable or unusable.
