Deployment Examples
This chapter shows examples of how to set up Xsan volumes
in a storage area network.
Read this chapter to see how you can use Xsan to set up volumes on a storage area
network to provide these different types of storage:
 Network attached storage
 Computational cluster
 Video production
Which Example Should You Follow?
The three deployment examples address different performance needs.
Minimal Hardware and Standard Performance
The network attached storage example shows how to set up SAN volumes using a
minimum of hardware and network connections.
Moderate Performance
The computational cluster example shows how to achieve moderate performance.
Best Possible Performance
The video production example shows how to achieve the best possible performance.
