1. Storage System Architecture

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Storage System Architecture: The structural design of storage components and their interactions within a data center, defining how storage devices, controllers, and networks are organized to support data management and access.
  • Storage Tiering: The process of categorizing storage media based on speed and cost, aiming to optimize performance and cost-efficiency by placing data on appropriate tiers.
  • Storage Area Network (SAN): A dedicated network that provides block-level storage access, enabling high-performance and scalable storage solutions over a specialized network infrastructure.
  • Network Attached Storage (NAS): A storage system that offers file-level access over standard network protocols, simplifying file sharing and centralized data management.
