Here's a profile of the early adopters of storage networking. The SAN penetration rate was less than 5% in late 1999 and around 15% in late 2000. The reference to SANs over WAN generally track with the SAN over WAN adoption rate reported by CMNT.

.....But a new survey of 400 IT managers provides a much-needed reality check. According to the vast majority of those surveyed in October and November 1999 for Reality/CIS by the Gallup Organization, the time for heterogeneous, multi-platform SANs has already arrived.

Of the companies already using SANs:

-- 74 percent are using heterogeneous solutions in which storage serves more than one operating system platform at a time.

-- 64 percent are running SAN solutions on wide-area networks.

-- 42 percent have more than one terabyte of storage supported by the SAN.

-- Windows NT is used by 91 percent, Unix by 71 percent, AS/400 by 27 percent and System 390 (mainframes) by 21 percent.

As detailed in my previous post, the fair inference is that high-end Unix and the OS/390 mainframe continue to dominate the back-end of those SANs while mid-range Unix and entry-level NT/W2K dominate the front-end.
