Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to electronic systems, and more particularly to a system and method for configuring a Storage Area Network (SAN). Background technique

[0002] While benefiting from storage area network (SAN) technology, it is a big embarrassment for the SAN industry to have to face the complexity of SAN configuration, setup and operation. Information technology departments running SANs are often plagued by complex SAN topologies and configurations, which in turn result in increased management overhead. Second, the information technology department still lacks high-quality talents who can quickly configure SAN. In addition, ongoing SAN operations are affected by the IT environment, which is often due to the turnover of human resources caused by industry competition. As a result, when an employee moves from an organization, the organization often loses important technical knowledge resources.

[0003] An organization implementing a SAN w...
