"Week 2 Blog Entry"

Week 2 assignment on different types of storage was a very interesting topic. I never knew that there were differences between storage arrays, network attached storage,and storage area networks. I always thought data storage was just storage. This week I learned that storage area networks (SAN) are used connect multiple devices to multiple storage arrays, when connecting a storage array to one or more devices, it can communicate with other storage devices within the network.There are 2 types of arrays that are used single and dual  A network attached storage (NAS) is used as a main storage hub for devices on the network to share files from that specified location with the ability to retrieve data and store data.
