Data Storage> Storage Area Networks
A SAN is a network of shared storage devices, such as disk storage arrays and tape libraries. The architecture of a SAN is such that storage resources are made available to multiple servers on a local or wide area network. Because stored data does not reside directly on any of the network's servers, processing power is optimized for business applications and storage capacity can be provisioned on the server where it is needed most.
USI offers two types of SANs:
Fibre Channel SAN: A storage network built with Fibre Channel disk storage arrays, host bus adapters (HBAs) and switches.
iSCSI or IP SAN: A storage network built with network interface cards and Ethernet switches and uses the iSCSI standard protocol.
