Welcome to the Storage Array series, the main goal of this series is to cover the

storage domain basics to understand the storage array better and also to explore
storage array features more in detail.

In general its always going to be hard for a newbie to adapt to any new domain more
often than not most of the terms used in that will be quite difficult to understand
at first. I also fall under the same category where coming from a telecom domain
its little difficult for me to adapt to storage domain and its terms, though I
learned a lot from video tutorials available online while watching I felt like
everything is easy but when it comes to work I was not able to actually relate it.
Experience matters :)

So only when I started to get a hands on knowledge I was able to relate few things
but not able to understand the remaining. Hence I have decided to start learning
again from scratch to have a better understanding of storage domain thereby it will
also help me understand the actual product I work on.
