About Storage Devices

SANsymphony software allows you to centrally manage any storage device that is qualified to work with the Microsoft Windows® operating system; from JBOD (just a bunch of disks) enclosures to intelligent storage arrays. Some supported interfaces include Fibre Channel, SCSI, iSCSI, IDE, ATA, SATA, SAS, and SSA.

Storage devices can connect through a SAN switch or directly to a storage server.

Basic vendor-specific configuration and installation of these storage devices should be performed as per manufacturer’s instructions. After the storage is managed by SANsymphony software, no further device-specific configuration is necessary, other than for hardware maintenance or failure correction.
