网络存储是一种类似于普通局域网的高速存储网络,它通过专用的集线器、交换机和网关建立起与服务器和磁盘阵列之间的直接连接。SAN不是一种产品,而是配置网络化存储的一种方法。这种网络技术支持远距离通信,并允许存储设备真正与服务器隔离,使存储成为可由所有服务器共享的资源。SAN也允许各个存储子系统,如磁盘阵列和磁带库,无需通过专用的中间服务器即
Network Storage is a high-speed storage network similar to a normal LAN that establishes a direct connection to a server and disk array through dedicated hubs, switches, and gateways. A SAN is not a product, but a way to configure networked storage. This network technology supports long-range communications and allows storage devices to be truly isolated from the server, making storage a resource that can be shared by all servers. The SAN also allows individual storage subsystems, such as disk arrays and tape libraries, without having to go through a dedicated intermediary server
