ABSTRACT:

Unified storage (sometimes termed network unified storage or NUS) makes it possible to run and manage files and applications from a single storage device. To accomplish this goal, a unified storage system consolidates file-based and block-based access in a single storage platform and supports Fibre Channel SAN, IP-based SAN (iSCSI), and NAS (network attached storage). This FAQ features industry expert Randy Kerns, who answers a series of important questions about unified storage:

Learn what unified storage is and why it's important
Learn about the benefits and drawbacks of unified storage
Learn about the performance implications of unified storage
Learn about the future of unified storage.
