A Storage Area Network (SAN) is a network of storage devices that can be accessed by multiple servers or computers, providing a shared pool of storage space. Each computer on the network can access storage on the SAN as though they were local disks connected directly to the computer.
 
It sounds like something similar to Network-connected storage. Right? I mean the one is used by organizations for the reliable storage spaces, that can be managed and controlled through their existing network systems. For example by a corporate video production company
