Kordash says the company anticipated shifting to a SAN eventually but went with DAS when it started in 2004 to stand up the quickest cheapest architecture it could. “It was clear what direction the data growth was going” he says. “We chose DAS to get into the game and then it became a discussion internally about when and how to get to a more flexible and scalable architecture. ” The decision to move from DAS to SAN isn’t as obvious as you might think.
