A Server Storage Area Network (SAN) is a type of data storage and management system that connects multiple servers to a shared storage device. It is designed to provide high-speed access to data and to improve the scalability of storage systems. SANs are typically used in enterprise environments, where they can provide a cost-effective way to store and manage large amounts of data. SANs are typically composed of a storage array, a network switch, and a host bus adapter. The storage array is responsible for storing the data, while the network switch provides the connection between the storage array and the host bus adapter. The host bus adapter is responsible for connecting the server to the SAN. SANs provide a number of benefits, including improved performance, increased scalability, and improved data security. They also allow for the sharing of data between multiple servers, which can help to reduce costs. Some of the companies in the Server Storage Area Network market include Dell EMC, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, IBM, NetApp, and Hitachi Data Systems. Show Less Read more
