Diverging from this traditional view of servers performing multiple functions is the contention that a more effective file storage architecture can be built by dividing these functions into different components: primary storage to hold the primary copy of the data, and edge filers holding the most active data in high performance hardware. =0A Examine pros and cons of both architectures in multi-vendor environments. Topics include migrations between different vendor storage systems and implementation of data management features such as data mirroring.=0A=0A Compare cost and performance benefits of the traditional storage server and the new Avere storage architecture. Typical use cases, including storage and users connected via WAN links, where latency concerns impact the selection of a storage architecture and migrating to cloud-based storage.
