Chris, the simple fact is that the I/O on the NAS server side is either over SCSI, FC, or, often, a dedicated FDDI, ATM, or eithernet LAN. There is no conflict between the NAS server traffic and the corporate LAN. The corporate LAN is just delivering the results of the I/O that the NAS performed as a server. Have a look at page 25 of this 4 year old document. It shows how dedicated server networks isolate the traffic. This was written before FC came to the scene. netapp.com
