The hosting service maintains a network dedicated to data storage, a SAN, also known as a “network behind the servers,” which enhances storage capacity. All information needed to run a cloud-based application is stored on a SAN. The data of any business using that application is also stored on a SAN. When accessing a cloud application, the device connects to a server for access. That server interfaces with a SAN to deliver information to the device and store uploaded data.
