SAN Storage
Get cost-effective SAN storage for high-transaction applications.
Ease your storage chores
Get the benefits of SAN — with 0 devices to buy or babysit.
SAN Storage is a production-ready storage environment for high-transaction applications. A well-designed SAN can easily withstand multiple component or device failures. But without dedicated storage specialists on staff, maintaining it’s no easy feat.
Ease your storage chores by offloading the care and feeding of your SAN fabric to the experts at Summit.

We were having trouble with our apps not sending data. We called up [Summit], and they spent 2 hours talking us through it. It was a simple command line change and they fixed it. AWS won’t do that.

Instead of pushing us toward the most expensive equipment, [Summit]’s team was tremendously helpful with arriving at a solution at the cost that we wanted.
FAQs
Yes, absolutely.
Unless you have strict compliance requirements, we recommend using shared SAN until you approach 50-60 TB of storage. At that point, private SAN is actually cheaper.
A private SAN is hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy yourself. With shared SAN, instead of fronting that huge expense, Summit bears the cost of the SAN hardware and you just buy some of the space. Shared SAN provides you with block storage performance at a per-TB consumption rate.
Either way, you’ll get continuous availability and rock-solid performance with SAN Storage from Summit.
SAN is for demanding, business-critical applications requiring high throughput and IOPS. It’s ideal for applications requiring heavy-duty database access, complete VM system backend disk, live servers, or any services requiring very fast access to data. Object storage is a low-cost platform to store tons of data that you don’t need to access all the time.
