SAN
SAN is the acronym for Storage Area Network.

Storage Area Network
A high-speed, dedicated network that connects servers to storage devices, allowing them to access and manage data as if it were stored locally. It improves performance, scalability, and reliability by providing direct access to storage without relying on traditional network traffic. SANs are commonly used in businesses to support critical applications, ensure fast data access, and simplify storage management. They also enhance backup and disaster recovery by centralizing data storage across multiple servers.
