Overview
A storage area network (SAN) is a dedicated network that interconnects and creates shared pools of storage devices on multiple servers. A SAN moves storage resources off a common user network and reorganizes them (often by tiers based on usage) into an independent, high-performance network. This allows each server to access shared storage as if it were a drive directly attached to the server.
How can I request assistance?
To request new SAN storage, modify existing SAN storage, or decommission SAN storage, submit a Pegasus Ticket to VUMC IT STORAGE-SAN.
Note: A request for a new storage capacity of 20TB or greater requires going through the VUMC IT governance process. Contact a Customer Relationship Manager for assistance. Owners of the Governance can also be contacted via itconnect@cumc.org: LaShawn Shaw, Linda Smith, or Kelvin Parker.
