Summary
FAN is a term used to describe a more formal approach to
architecting a heterogeneous, enterprise-wide, service-
oriented file storage infrastructure
– FAN maps to the “data” layer of the ADN “stack”
– Think “File Storage Optimization” (analog to “Application Server
Optimization”)
FAN implements a set of powerful foundation
technologies that support both basic and advanced
storage management services
FAN could turn out to be as revolutionary for files (and
down the road for objects…) as SAN was for block
storage
– Complements server virtualization
