olemus
kiire spetsialiseeritud (alam)võrk andmete talletuseks,
põhineb mitmesugustel ühissalvestitel,
võrgu poole pöördutakse serverite kaudu,
andmed talletatakse plokkidena

ISO/IEC 27040:
võrk, mille esmane otstarve on
andmete turvaline ja stabiilne edastus
- arvutisüsteemide ja salvestite vahel
- salvestite vahel
ta komponendid on
- füüsilisi ühendusi tagav sidetaristu
- halduskiht
- salvestid
- arvutisüsteemid
=
network whose primary purpose is the transfer of data between computer systems and storage devices and among storage devices
Note. A SAN consists of a communication infrastructure, which provides physical connections, and a management layer, which organizes the connections, storage devices, and computer systems so that data transfer is secure and robust.
