Search Storage provides information to help select a pair for storage area networks (SAN) according to the needs of the user. Fibre Channel (FC) SANs and iSCSI SANs depend upon the user’s requirements and skill but provide the same solution to technical problems of network block storage. Small to medium-sized businesses use SAN.
