We discuss some of the fundamentals to SAN (Storage Area Networking) and NAS (Network Attached Storage). The differences between the two architectures are explained and when it is appropriate to use one technology versus the other.

Hi, very good video....cohesive outline and excellent pace....however I would like to point out a few things....often NAS systems employ a higher degree of overhead (in their O/s) than optimized SAN...a good cluster will usually run a lite BSD (dragonfly is amazing), where as a NAS box usually has multiple protocols to deal with (NFS, CIFS/SMB, rsync etc )....also I might point out that, often times a properly built and managed iSCSI SAN will outperform an FC system, especially with 10GbE. YMMV

thanks very much great information.

Thanks for the post, very helpful. iSCSI has come a long way and performance isn't that different from FC.

Or just mount a NAS in your filesystem and boom... you got it as a drive on your system just like a SAN on that respect.

Dude. How embarrassing? Buy some markers. I can't see crap about what you are describing. You've got the brains, the camera, the white board, and no markers! This vid is crap!
