centralization of storage devices and the clustering of servers, which has the
potential to make for easier and less expensive centralized administration that
lowers the total cost of ownership (TCO).
1.4.3 SAN interconnects
The first element that must be considered in any SAN implementation is the
connectivity of storage and server components typically using Fibre Channel.
SANs, like LANs, interconnect the storage interfaces together into many network
configurations and across long distances.
Much of the terminology used for SAN has its origins in IP network terminology.
In some cases, the industry and IBM use different terms that mean the same
thing, and in some cases, mean different things.
