ABSTRACT:
Do you ever feel like your file infrastructure owns you, and not the other way around? Most users do.

However, the positive result has been an industry-wide initiative to reduce the chaos and frame a file-area network (FAN) reference architecture to simplify the issue for end users. Industry analyst Brad O'Neill, who originally proposed and articulated the FAN reference architecture, explains what a FAN is (and is not), why it matters, approaches to building file networks and who users should be looking at in the vendor community to provide FAN solutions.
