Figure 68: SAN

The core of the SAN is a set of SAN switches, called the Fabric. It is comparable with a LAN’s switched network segment.

Host bus adapters (HBAs) are interface cards implemented in servers. They can be compared to network interface controllers (NICs) used in networking. They are connected to SAN switches, usually in a redundant way.

Picture 25: Disks in storage system[49]

Typically, in SANs, a large number of disks are installed in one or more disk arrays. The number of disks varies between dozens of disks and hundreds of disks. With today's disk sizes a SAN can easily contain many hundreds of terabytes (TB) of data or more.
