What is San
SAN (Storage Area Network) is a fast subnet that consists of shared storage devices. It is a technology that interconnects SAN islands within a larger network in order to allow for communication between these San islands while at the same time maintaining their autonomy. The SAN is integrated into the network so as it appears like a local drive on the system which has access to different forms of write and read capabilities. SAN is useful in customization of large frequently used files which makes its easier to access them and it is managed by remote server handles request for data when distributed along larger networks.

Common problems experienced when using SAN include disk failure and system down time after a given time of use.
