SAN
Northern Storage Suite offers support for SAN devices where the disk resource appears as a local resource to a Windows host.
Essentially, Northern Storage Suite sees the SAN in the same way that a user client will see the SAN – if the SAN appears to the user as one or a series of Windows disk resources then Northern Storage Suite will manage the device in the same way.
The specific hardware and operating system requirements for management of SAN environments are detailed below:
