A network administrator needs to implement a dedicated, high-speed network that allows multiple servers to access consolidated, block-level data storage. Which of the following network types would be the MOST appropriate for this requirement?
A Storage Area Network (SAN) is the most appropriate choice as it is a specialized, high-speed network designed to provide servers with block-level access to shared storage pools. This architecture is optimized for storage traffic, offering low latency and high throughput separate from the regular local area network. A Local Area Network (LAN) is a general-purpose network for connecting devices within a limited area, not specifically for block-level storage. A Wide Area Network (WAN) connects networks over large geographical distances. A Personal Area Network (PAN) is used for short-range communication between personal devices.
