Storage Area Network (SAN): A high-speed, specialized network that provides block-level network access to storage. It is typically used in data centers to enhance storage devices’ functionality by making them appear as locally attached devices to the operating system of a server. SANs aid in improving application availability, enhancing performance, and facilitating disaster recovery processes.
