Storage Networking , Part 1 eBook: A storage network is any network that's designed to transport block-level storage protocols. But understanding the ins and outs of networked storage takes you deep into several of protocols. This guide covers SANs, Fibre Channels, Disk Arrays, Fabric, and IP Storage.
»Storage Networking 2, Configuration and Planning eBook: Picking up where Part 1 left off, Part 2 of our look at storage networking examines configurations for SAN-attached servers and disk arrays, and also includes a look at the future of IP storage.
»Storage Management Costs in the Enterprise: A Comparison of Mid-Range Array Solutions Whitepaper:
Many factors contribute to the ownership cost for enterprise storage. These include (but are not limited to): physical capacity relative to physical space requirements, performance capacity for data transfer and system reaction time, software maintenance and updates, expandability and flexibility, and much more.
»Storage Is Changing Fast Be Ready or Be Left Behind PDF: The storage landscape is headed for dramatic change, thanks to new technologies like Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), pNFS, object-based storage and SAS that will affect everything from NAS and SANs to disk drives. Get the knowledge you need to make the most of your storage environment, now and in the future.

This tag allows the user to choose from a fixed set of values;
one or several at once.
The <SELECT> tag has OPTIONs in between the
initiating <SELECT> tag and the
terminating </SELECT> tag.
The OPTION tag may have these attributes:
VALUE
Specifies the value of the option to be sent to the server.
If not defined, the label next to the option is sent as the value.
SELECTED
By default, the first OPTION is displayed in the menu.
This tag sets the default OPTION to be displayed in the
menu, in case it isn't the first OPTION.
This presents a window with 3 items displayable at once.
If there are more than 3 then the window has a scrollbar.
If you want a drop-down menu, just set the SIZE to 1 or omit it.
Only one item may be selected by the user.
Here is the CGI code.
You'll also need
cgi-lib.pl.
This very simple and elegant example depends on the fact that the
directory names at The WDVL are meaningful words. If you want something
more sophisticated, e.g. say the menu labels are not exactly the same
as the directory names, or comprise longer phrases, simply modify the
CGI program to use a hash table to look up the URL from the supplied
OPTION value (left as an exercise for the reader!).
The following menu uses
JavaScript.
It causes the browser to fetch the required page immediately, without a
round-trip to the server and the CGI program which simply sends back a
redirect. However it may not work on all browsers, as the CGI version
does.
Notes
Be careful that the open pull-down doesn't exceed the screen size;
if you're on a large workstation screen remember the PC user with a
small screen.
If you have more than 3 or 4 options to choose from,
and the user may only select ONE, then this input element is the best.
People are often tempted to use multiple RADIO buttons.
The decoding script on the server will probably appreciate having
a single-word VALUE value instead of multiple-words.
Use the MULTIPLE keyword to allow the
user to select several items at once.
