ASC SAN Clients are the actual file and application servers that use the storage resources via the ASC Server.

There are two types of SAN Clients, SAN/IP and Fibre Channel. You can have both on your storage network.

These SAN Clients access their storage resources via software-emulated virtual adapters (for SAN/IP) or HBAs (for Fibre Channel). The storage resources appear as locally attached devices to the SAN Clients' operating systems (Windows NT, Windows 2000, Linux, Solaris, etc.) even though the SCSI devices are actually located at the ASC Server.

The SAN Clients tab lists all of the SAN Clients managed by this ASC Server.
