Virtual SAN

Akronim: VSAN

VSAN
Virtual Storage Area Network (Virtual SAN). A
storage area technology originally developed by Cisco, which allows a SAN to
be logically sectioned allowing each section to be viewed and manipulated as
though it were a separate SAN.A SAN is composed of a number of "SAN
islands" (or fabrics), each of which is physically isolated by a switch or
group of switches. This allows SANs to be expanded and changed with minimal
disruption to the existing storage infrastructure. VSANs are a logical way
of managing the collection of SAN islands, providing too future scalability.
