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).

SMTP

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is a TCP/IP protocol used in sending and

 

receiving e-mail.

Storage Management

It is a group of volumes. Also known as volume group.

switch port zoning

A type of zoning in which the port of the switch is physically in the zone. Any device

 

attached to the port is automatically in the zone.

V

Virtual Storage Area

Networks (VSAN) See VSAN.

Virtual Application A placeholder you create for an unsupported application. For example, assume your company has created an internal application, and you want to be able to use the software to keep track of that application. You can create a virtual application for that product.

VSAN (Virtual Storage

Area Networks) Virtual Storage Area Networks (VSANs) are logical fabrics formed as subsets of physical FC (Fibre Channel) switch networks. A VSAN is defined as a set of Fx, E and TE ports-entry/exit, traditional ISL (Inter-switch Link) ports, and trunked ISL ports. TE ports are ISLs that may be shared between a named set of VSANs. All ports other than TE ports must be members of exactly one VSAN. On Cisco switches, there is a default
