Shared serial-attached SCSI (SAS) is a method for
attaching more than one server to a storage array with individual point-to-point or SAS switched
connections.
A shared SAS array can be an alternative and potentially lower-cost type of shared storage than
an iSCSI, Fibre Channel (FC) or Fibre Channel over
Ethernet (FCoE)
storage area network (SAN). It
can prove helpful to a company with limited storage requirements that wants to improve simplify
storage management and improve system performance.
