As the number of internal and external users increases within the enterprise, the numbers of servers and amounts of storage increase. In fact, the amount of data in the average database doubles yearly.Multiple servers are commonly used in business applications to facilitate the flow of data within and beyond a company’s walls. Each server is connected to many gigabytes or terabytes of disk storage. With the increasing interdependence of information and applications in the information infrastructure, each application must take data from some servers and give data to others. Local area networks (LANs) such as gigabit ethernet and ATM are inadequate for moving the large quantities of data accumulated at the server level.
