Storage Area Networks (SANs) 101
by Brent Ozar
When I was a database administrator, I saw the SAN as a fancy, expensive black box. Well, it is, but in this podcast I give you some insights into that black box, tell you what kinds of things to ask about when moving your databases into that box, and how to refocus your SAN concerns from raid levels towards more basic things like response times.
