"If you ask Jim Tarala, CIO at Schenck Business Solutions, why he tossed his Fibre Channel SAN out for IP-based networked storage, you'll get a quick answer: cost savings. The fact that he also doubled capacity didn't make the decision any harder. Those two factors, according to experts and tech leaders, are primary drives in pushing IP SANS ahead of Fibre Channel. According to IDC, the trend is being driven by the big enterprises who are salivating to consolidate and save money.
