A System Area Network or SAN is also known as Storage Area Network. It is one of the most important terminologies in  Computer Networking . SAN is a separate network that stores and performs backups of shared resources and data. It allows the full liberty of accessing those files to all the users registered on the network. They mostly use in organizations because of their ability to store data and resources with maximum security and end-to-end encryption. SAN basically stores the data and resources while performing backups through an alternate network of storage devices like disk storage. It designs to allow storage devices to present to the servers on a WAN (wide area network) and a LAN (local area network). Benefits of using a System Area Network Using additional capacity – In System Area Network, data does not remain on the main network servers. It offers great benefits because a user would have an additional capacity which they can utilize for other needs. It includ...

What do you need to know about LAN networking? LAN is popular as Local Area Network is the number of computers that connects within a ‘local’ area like offices or homes. This local area can vary from one room to a few streets and a number of buildings. The LANs can transfer data at a very efficient rate, much faster than data can be transferred via the telephone line. However, there are a few limitations in using LAN including the limitation of distance and the number of devices connected. What are the components of LAN? There are a few types of LANs identifies on the basis of the differences in topology, protocols, and media. Topology refers to the geometric planning of devices on the network. However, protocols can be described as rules and encoding specifications for delivering data. The protocol also includes the determination, if the network is using client-server or peer-to-peer architecture. Ethernet and Wi-Fi are the two significant approaches to empower Local Are...
