A company is planning to consolidate their storage infrastructure to improve performance and centralize storage management. Which networking component would BEST achieve this by facilitating the connection of multiple servers to high-performance storage devices?
A Storage Area Network (SAN) is best suited for environments requiring high-performance storage systems that can be accessed and managed centrally. SANs provide dedicated network connectivity to storage pools, ensuring efficient data transfer rates and high availability, which lends itself well to scenarios involving multiple servers requiring access to shared storage resources. It is distinct from NAS devices, which provide file-level storage over networking protocols, and direct-attached storage, which connects storage to a specific server rather than allowing multiple servers to access the storage.
