SAN Switches

A SAN switch is a specialized device that connects multiple storage devices—like servers and hard drives—in a Storage Area Network (SAN). It helps these devices communicate quickly and securely by directing data traffic efficiently between them. Think of it as a network router but for storage data, ensuring that information gets where it needs to go without congestion or delays. SAN switches enhance data transfer speed, security, and scalability in data centers, enabling large amounts of storage to be accessed reliably and efficiently by various servers.
