Some Thoughts about Network/Storage Infrastructure Design
“Keep It SIMPLE!”
I was once told by a data center veteran about 10 years ago.
This has been deeply embedded in my network/storage/security design methodology ever since and it is still holding the truth even today. It saved me from many pitfalls and allowed me to quickly track down where exactly the problems were.
It is especially true when your equipments (server/switch/storage) are growing at a fast pace and “Keep It SIMPLE!” is the only tool to save your life after all.
