Storage Industry Overview
(TCO), etc., it is no longer limited to the more expensive SCSI or FC optical fiber hard
disc; for example, CLARiiON of EMC is an optical fiber storage system where FC has
been converted to ATA hard disc, this proves that stable and low cost ATA, SATA hard
disc has been gradually applied to higher level FC storage system.

3.2.2 Market segment and definition (2): storage architecture
According to the newest Dataquest report, August 2002, it divides Disk Storage market
into two main structures:
3.2.2.1 Network storage system (FAS: Fabric-Attached Storage)
It commonly means storage system that can be connected to network environment
which possesses the industry standard, that is, the currently widely used TCP/IP or
optical fiber technology. No matter it’s the widely familiar NAS (Network-Attached
Storage) or SAN(Storage Area Network), since they possess both network connecting
function and become a merging version in application, they are no longer simply
independent architecture, therefore, Dataquest calls the integration system of NAS and
SAN as FAS. In the future, when internet and SAN standards from different suppliers
gets more integrated or when the product gets more stable, we believe that FAS market
will become more mature.
3.2.2.2 Direct-Attached storage system(DAS: Direct-Attached Storage)
DAS mainly means those storage systems without network connecting functions, these
include a host built in with RAID HBA card, or a storage device (with built in RAID
controller) which is independent from the server, they can be further divided into three
major types (please refer to chapter 3 for more details).
Take a glimpse at the current market, DAS is the most frequently adopted storage
solution currently, it occupies a market share of 63% of the overall storage market,
among them, SCSI RAID has a share of about 60%; however, since the new
generation Serial ATA has broken the limitations such as functions and transmission
methods inherent in traditional ATA, Serial ATA RAID is expected to rapidly replace ATA
RAID market and erode the market occupied by SCSI RAID. ATA RAID leading supplier
