Components of PARAMNET III
 SAN switch (Storage Area Network)

 NIC (Network Interface Card) with CCP III


Communication Co-Processor
 SAN SWITCH

SAN SWITCH
A storage area
network (SAN) is a
dedicated storage network
that provides access to
consolidated, block level
storage
 The computer storage field,
a Fibre Channel switch is
a network switch compatible
with the Fibre Channel (FC)
protocol. It allows the
creation of a Fibre Channel
fabric, that is currently the
core component of
most storage area
networks (SAN).
NIC
A network interface
controller (also known as
a network interface
card, network
adapter, LAN adapter and
by similar terms) is a
computer
hardware component that
connects a computer to
a computer network.
