What Is a SAN?
SANs offers higher availability with the most
flexibility
Switches
Advantages:
Fastest access times
Easily expandable
Centralized storage
High level of
redundancy

Disadvantages:
More expensive
Requires specialized
skills
Servers
What Is RAID?
RAID combines multiple disks into a single
logical unit to provide fault tolerance and
performance
RAID provides fault tolerance by using:
Disk mirroring
Parity information
RAID can provide performance benefits by
spreading disk I\O across multiple disks
RAID can be configured using several different
levels
RAID should not replace server backups
