What is storage area protocol? A connection type called a storage area network protocol controls how switches and devices interact with one another inside a SAN fabric. A SAN may employ one or several protocols. There are certain routers and devices that support multiple protocols. What is the role of storage area protocols? Scalability, security, and management are all improved by multiprotocol routers and devices. They allow devices in different SAN fabrics to communicate with one another without combining the textiles into a single, big meta-SAN fabric. Multiprotocol routers and other devices offer their own functionality, such as zoning, and support a variety of protocols, including Server Message Block (SMB), depending on the vendor. There are several different storage protocols that can be used to set up data centre storage. The most effective protocol for a specific data centre depends on elements, including the facility's size, the servers it uses, and the availabl...
