National SAN Architect Day 2023: National SAN Architect Day is observed annually on May 3. It was founded to recognize the systems as well as the men and women who keep the U.S. data and I.T. infrastructures secure. Most of these professionals operate in relative obscurity. A company’s management usually doesn’t disclose who the people involved in organizing all those voluminous data networks and their security are — unless there’s been a massive data breach. This is a day we commend those who labor in obscurity to help organizations function smoothly.
HISTORY OF NATIONAL SAN ARCHITECT DAY
A Storage Area Network (SAN) is a network of storage devices with a shared reservoir of storage space that multiple computers and servers can access. Each computer on the network can access the storage on the SAN as if it were locally attached discs. SAN architecture can be either storage-centric or network-centric. Alongside it, SAN is made up of three core components: the host layer — the system/end devices that use the SAN service, as the servers and computers on the network — and the interfaces — such as the fiber channel and the host bus adapter, that enable connectivity between the hosts and SAN infrastructure — and the storage layer — what the physical storage drives are called.
SAN, or Storage Area Network SAN architects play a crucial position in the management of the United States’ I.T. infrastructure. They are involved in many aspects of corporate life in all categories of organizations that range from S.M.Es. to Fortune 500 companies. In addition to maintaining the organisation of massive data networks, they also ensure its security and prevent data breaches. They ensure that invoices and payments are issued on time while managing financial resources and ensuring human resource compliance. By taking advantage of alerts and reporting features as well as instituting a regular review process within the SAN, an administrator can monitor the SAN’s health. They can also take preventative measures to ensure its correct operation.
All of this magic is concealed within the Data Center’s confines. SAN architects are the unsung heroes that keep companies large and small humming along, glitch-free.
