Craig said he expects his company's SAN, now at 3.5TB, to grow by two- or three-fold over the next year. He is aware that networked storage tools are available, such as EMC's Volume Logix application, which maps storage networks and monitors individual switches and routers. Using them, however, Craig said, "creates vendor lock-in." Vendor lock-in is a key component of competitive advantage, but he can't have it both ways: either he accepts an interlocked chain: Sun - NTAP, IBM - EMC, CPQ - NTAP, etc or he figures out how to do it himself and hires the staff to maintain it.
