Abstract

Storage area network (SAN) is a new network storage architecture. It meets the need of mass data storage and high-speed data transmission through the centralization storage management and employing fibre channel (FC) as the transmission protocol. It has better performance,reliability and expandability than traditional direct attached storage (DAS) mode and is becoming an important research aspect in data storage field. This paper introduces the features of SAN,then presents a practical SAN architecture. Its performance testing is carried out and some useful conclusions about transmission performance and optimization design in practical applications are put forward.
