Storage area network - Wikipedia
A SAN typically is a dedicated network of storage devices not accessible through the local area network (LAN). Although a SAN provides only block-level access, file systems built on top of SANs do provide file-level access and are known as shared-disk file systems.

Understanding Storage Area Networks: A Comprehensive Guide
In short, a Storage Area Network (SAN) is a fast network that gives multiple servers access to block-level storage. It is great for speed, scalability, and easy management. SANs let multiple servers share storage devices, unlike Direct Attached Storage (DAS) where each server has its own.
