Storage Area Network

A Storage Area Network (SAN) is a dedicated network designed to provide access to consolidated, block-level data storage. It connects multiple servers to various storage devices, enabling efficient data transfer and management. Think of it as a high-speed highway for data, allowing different computers to share storage resources more effectively than if each one had its own storage. This setup enhances performance, provides redundancy, and improves data access, making it ideal for businesses that need to manage large amounts of information reliably.
