A network administrator is deploying a dedicated, high-speed network designed exclusively to connect enterprise database servers to consolidated block-level storage arrays with minimal latency. The network is physically segregated from standard client local traffic and utilizes Fibre Channel host bus adapters. Which of the following network types best describes this deployment?
- SAN (Storage Area Network)Cevap
- BLAN (Local Area Network)
- CMAN (Metropolitan Area Network)
- DWAN (Wide Area Network)
Cevap
Storage Area Network (SAN)
The correct option is Storage Area Network (SAN). A SAN is a dedicated high-speed network that interconnects and presents shared pools of block-level storage devices to servers. It utilizes specialized protocols such as Fibre Channel or iSCSI to achieve ultra-low latency and isolates storage traffic from general client network communications.
