What is SAN Administration?

SAN (Storage Area Network) Administration involves managing and maintaining a dedicated network that provides access to consolidated, block-level storage. This includes tasks like provisioning storage to servers, configuring zoning and LUN masking for security and access control, monitoring performance, troubleshooting issues, performing firmware upgrades, and ensuring data redundancy and availability. It is commonly used in environments where high-performance and reliable storage is crucial, such as database servers, virtualization platforms, and media editing workflows.
