An example for the storage of information showing its flow for management-
Steps:
  1. Customer places an order through an application user interface of the order processing application software located on the client software.
  2. Client is connected to server through LAN and accesses the DBMS for processing.
  3. Server is installed with OS and required database .using this database,server read and write database on storage array.
  4. Storage network provides communication link between the server and the storage array.
  5. Storage array receive command from the server and it perform necessary operation to store the data on physical disks.
