SAN | A Storage Area Network (SAN) is a high speed network configuration that is |
| dedicated to transporting storage data among network devices, such as storage |
| systems, hosts (servers), switches, and tape libraries to end users. In addition to |
| connecting local elements to storage arrays, it may also be extended to off site or |
| remote locations for the purposes of backup, archival or acting as a hot site in the |
| event of a disaster. |
| A SAN can communicate via current technologies such as ESCON (mainframe), fibre |
| channel, or newer technology such as iSCSI. SAN’s can support several configurations |
| such as disk mirroring, RAID 5, backup/restore, and data migration, as well as being |
| able to incorporate Network Attached Storage (NAS). |
