FC Switch Administration



In my company we have debate going on who should really manage FC
switch for SAN?. Network or Storage group?.

Cisco has stong hold in our company and they are pushing their FC
switches. They are claiming it should be managed by Network team.

We are also evaluating other FC switch vendors.
Brocade/Mcdata saying switches should be managed by Storage group.

What is advanatges/dis-advantages if FC switch is managed by Network
group.

Thanks
