The purpose of this policy from TechRepublic Premium is to provide guidelines for the appropriate use and administration of storage area networks.

This policy can be customized as needed to fit the requirements of your organization.

From the policy:

SUMMARY

SANs provide manageable, centralized storage capacity for systems offering vast amounts of disk space via a dedicated network link. SANs can offer servers much more disk space than they might be able to utilize locally, often spanning dozens if not hundreds of terabytes of data.

Because of their complexity, however, SANs are not easy to properly administer. Often they require dedicated professionals to manage properly.

A Storage area networking policy can help lay out guidelines for the appropriate set-up and usage of SANs in order to get the best performance and operational efficiencies out of them. This in turn helps companies maximize their often pricy investments in SAN technologies.

SCOPE

All employees, whether full-time, part-time, contract workers, consultants, interns, temporary workers or other personnel are covered by this policy. It also applies to all company-owned equipment, employee-owned equipment used to conduct company business, or material related thereto.
