Storage Area Network (SAN)

The SAN houses all data storage devices such as disk arrays, tape libraries and high-capacity optical disk libraries for applications like video surveillance. The use of a separate SAN eliminates the need to store data directly on servers, which provides better network capacity. Access to stored data must be fast, requiring high-speed connections from the HDA. Belden products for the SAN include:
