In addition to that, the vast amounts of data generated in today's computing environments means that storage issues are something that every business and server administrator needs to deal with sooner or later. The hardware and software involved in networking and storage management can be complicated, which can make troubleshooting issues that arise complicated as well. It is important that server administrators are comfortable with the troubleshooting process and familiar with the various problems that can arise related to networks and storage systems.
