SAN?

Is the A and N in SAN just to make it sound like LAN or WAN?

I'm labouring under the impression that SAN stands for "Storage Area Network" , if correct its one of the stupidest acronyms since PVR

Storage - yes , Area - what? network - not really!

I dont care if your raid arrays are linked by a cable , or a switch , that hardly warrants note in the title of the system, cos everything is - see IOT
