System area network

Short description: Networks for cluster computing

System area networks (SAN) are high-performance, connection-oriented networks that link computer clusters. Microsoft SQL Server 2005 uses it for high-performance connectivity through Virtual Interface Adapter (VIA).[1][2] This technology is used since the advent of Windows 2000.[3]
