A Storage
Area Network (SAN) is a high-performance network, probably (but not necessarily)
based on fibre channel, dedicated to storage. It provides any-to-any connectivity
for the resources on the SAN; any server can potentially talk to any storage
device, and communication between storage and SAN devices (switches, hubs,
routers, bridges) is enabled.
