Ionic Battery is a company that has developed new longer-lasting batteries for hybrid vehicles. The company uses nine Windows Server 2008 R2 servers and company users connect to the servers over a TCP/IP-based network. There are 27 Windows 7 users in the Business Department, five Mac OS X Snow Leopard users in the Marketing Department, and 18 Linux users in the Research and Development Department.

The Computer Systems group supports all computing resources for the company and is under the Business Department. This group uses three Windows 7 desktop computers and two Linux computers. It consists of two server administrators and three user support personnel.

Enabling Storage over the Network

One of the server administrators has heard it is possible to connect arrays of hard disks to the network so that data storage is independent of the hard disks in the servers. The corporate officers and the board of directors would like to implement such a storage solution for the vital research databases and the marketing data used by the company. Explain a network storage technology that can use the existing network to make data on network-connected hard disks accessible to company users.
