A storage area network (SAN) is a dedicated high-speed network that interconnects and offers shared pools of accommodation devices to various servers.
A SAN moves storage resources off the common user network and reorganizes them into an independent, high-performance network. This enables each server to access shared storage as if it were a drive directly attached to the server. When a host wants to access a storage device on the SAN, it sends out a block-based access request for the storage device.
