SAN Storage
Get cost-effective SAN storage for high-transaction applications.
Ease your storage choresShared or Dedicated — Your Call
Both options deliver enterprise-grade SAN performance with predictable monthly pricing and no surprise fees.
Shared SAN
Enterprise Performance, Shared Cost
The cost-efficient path to SAN storage. Summit bears the hardware investment — you purchase the capacity you need at a per-TB rate. Ideal for most workloads up to 50–60 TB, where shared infrastructure delivers block storage performance without the capital outlay of owning your own array.
Dedicated SAN
Isolated Performance for Critical Workloads
A fully isolated storage environment for businesses with the highest performance, security, or compliance requirements. Consistent, predictable I/O with no noisy neighbors — ideal at 50+ TB or wherever your most sensitive applications live.
Optional Add-ons
Extend either tier to meet business continuity, compliance, and performance goals.
Engineered for Workloads That Can’t Slow Down
Every feature in Summit’s SAN stack exists to keep your most critical applications fast, available, and protected.
Enterprise-Grade Performance
High-speed, low-latency block storage designed to handle your most critical databases, applications, and virtualized environments without compromise.
All-Flash Architecture
Powered by Pure Storage — consistent throughput and rock-solid reliability backed by industry-leading all-flash hardware built for the most demanding workloads.
Snapshot & Backup Support
Point-in-time snapshots protect against data loss and accelerate recovery. Pair with optional enhanced retention policies to meet your RPO and RTO requirements.
Scalable Capacity
Expand seamlessly as your business grows — no disruptive migrations or unplanned downtime. Storage scales to match workload demand without operational friction.
High Availability Options
Redundant controllers and multi-path configurations minimize downtime risk. Optional HA configurations deliver continuous service — even during hardware failures or planned upgrades.
Security Built In
Encryption in transit by default, with optional hardware-level encryption at rest. Built to satisfy HIPAA, PCI DSS, and GDPR compliance requirements out of the box.

“Instead of pushing us toward the most expensive equipment, Summit’s team was tremendously helpful with arriving at a solution at the cost that we wanted.”
Ars Technica
Why Self-Managed SAN Breaks Down
Managing a SAN without dedicated storage specialists isn’t just difficult — it’s a liability. Here’s where things tend to go wrong.
Complexity & Staffing Gaps
Without dedicated storage specialists, managing a SAN means configuration mistakes, unplanned downtime, and rising support costs.
Data Growth & Scalability
Storage that can’t keep pace forces disruptive upgrades and uncontrolled cost creep — usually at the worst possible moment.
Compliance & Security
Falling short of HIPAA, GDPR, or PCI DSS standards exposes the business to breaches, fines, and legal liability.
Performance for Critical Apps
Inefficient storage throttles databases, transactional systems, and AI/ML workloads — directly degrading customer experience.
Hidden Costs
Network transit fees and poor utilization silently erode budgets. Public cloud storage bills have a way of arriving as surprises.
Backup & Recovery Gaps
Outdated or incomplete backups turn routine outages into existential threats. Recovery should be measured in minutes, not days.
Built for the Workloads That Demand the Most
SAN is the right choice when performance, availability, and durability are non-negotiable.
Databases & Transactional Systems
Ideal for SQL Server, Oracle, and other high-throughput databases that require consistent IOPS and low-latency access to stay performant.
Virtual Machine Backends
The perfect storage backend for VMware and Hyper-V environments — fast disk operations and seamless VM migration without storage bottlenecks.
Enterprise Applications
ERP, financial platforms, and other mission-critical systems rely on SAN’s exceptional durability and high availability to stay running without interruption.
