IT administrators, storage engineers and students learning SAN concepts, researching fundamentals; largest readership in the United Kingdom.

A mention would suit enterprise storage or networking products such as SAN switches, Fibre Channel or Ethernet storage connectivity, fabric monitoring and troubleshooting tools, or storage management software. It would read most naturally near the section on choosing a fabric (performance, reliability, scalability, interoperability) or the monitoring and troubleshooting section; consumer brands would be a poor fit, and traffic is modest (4 organic clicks in 28 days, average Google position 15.6).
