SAN is a type of storage networking architecture that is used by enterprises for business-critical applications that need to deliver high throughput and low latency. SAN uses a small computer system interface (SCSI), fiber channels, and Ethernet protocols to communicate between the servers and storage devices. A SAN system is built with more than one component, which includes a RAID storage system, switches, servers, backup devices, interface cards, and cables. A SAN is running on a fiber channel network and has been following block information processing where blocks are allocated an identifier, which will be used to store and retrieve these blocks. The primary function of a SAN system in a data center is to support disk mirroring, restoration, backups, information migration from one storage device to another, the archiving and retrieval of archived information, and the sharing of information among different servers in a network. Such advantages of SAN will drive the segment and market in focus during the forecast period.
