The theoretical information on the basics of storage area networks (SAN) and the Fiber Channel transport protocol is provided. A comparative analysis of the existing options for building SAN based on Fiber Channel technology is given. The authors have proposed their own method based on practical implementation, which is the most rational solution. Nowadays, SAN is rapidly overspreading among small and medium-sized enterprises due to the development of the Fiber Channel protocol and the reduction in the cost of components necessary for building a SAN. Also, this type of building of a computing system is easily scalable. Both of these facts underline the topicality of the storage area network review. It is shown that when designing SAN in corporate enterprises based on the main topologies, such methods are used only partially.
