   Fibre Channel (FC) is a high-speed data transfer protocol providing in-order, lossless [1] delivery of raw block data. [2] Fibre Channel is primarily used to connect computer data storage to servers [3][4] in storage area networks (SAN) in commercial data centers. Fibre Channel networks form a switched fabric because the switches in a network ...

5. VSAN - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VSAN

   A virtual storage area network (virtual SAN, VSAN or vSAN) is a logical representation of a physical storage area network (SAN). A VSAN abstracts the storage-related operations from the physical storage layer, and provides shared storage access to the applications and virtual machines by combining the servers' local storage over a network into a single or multiple storage pools.

6. Computer network - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_network

   A storage area network (SAN) is a dedicated network that provides access to consolidated, block-level data storage. SANs are primarily used to make storage devices, such as disk arrays, tape libraries, and optical jukeboxes, accessible to servers so that the storage appears as locally attached devices to the operating system.
