SAN
(Storage Area Network)
A SAN is the optimal choice for customers who demand maximum speed, flexibility, and redundancy.
With a SAN, a separate Fibre Channel pipeline acts like a high-speed
loop around a city, eliminating storage-related downtime by providing
an open road for the “big rigs,” or large image files, to
travel from point to point without congesting traffic on the LAN (local
area network). SANs allow for real-time replication of data, enhancing
disaster recovery by providing alternate paths to the same files and
supporting data sharing across multiple network servers.
