A SAN is a high-speed, high-bandwidth storage network that logically connects storage to servers. SAN topologies (switched fabric or arbitrated loops) extend the concepts offered by traditional server/storage connections and deliver more flexibility, availability, integrated management and performance. SANs are the first IT solutions to offer the assurance that all systems can access any information in the enterprise at any time.

In the connected world of 21st century business, a manageable, secure network isnt optional - its a core requirement of every serious organisations infrastructure.
