A “SAN” is a high-speed network, similar in concept to a Local Area Network (LAN), that establishes a direct connection between storage elements and servers or clients, generally through a Fibre Channel switch.

It operates behind the servers to provide a common link between servers and storage, allowing administrators to independently scale the storage or server processing power as requirements demand. It allows multiple servers to access the same data so that duplication of information can be reduced, and permits data backup to take place directly over storage channels, eliminating the bottleneck of the relatively slow LAN. Data is also more consistently available, as the failure of a single server will not cut off any storage from remaining servers.
