Virtual Storage Area Network (VSAN)

A Virtual Storage Area Network (VSAN) is a method of partitioning a physical storage network into multiple, isolated virtual networks. Think of it as dividing one highway into separate lanes exclusively for different groups, so each group can travel without interfering with others. This enhances security, efficiency, and management by allowing organizations to segment storage traffic, ensuring data stays protected and performance remains optimized. VSANs are typically used in data centers to organize and control storage resources more effectively within a shared physical infrastructure.
