What is SAN storage, in short
A SAN (Storage Area Network) is a high-speed network that connects servers to shared storage units, separate from the local network: it guarantees high performance, scalability and operational continuity, ideal for virtualised environments where multiple hosts share the same storage.
- High-performance block storage on Fibre Channel or iSCSI
- Hot expansion with hot-swap SSD/HDD disks, no downtime
- Snapshots, replication and disaster recovery with optimised RPO/RTO
02 / Who we work with
Scalable storage for businesses managing large data volumes
Our solutions adapt to any setup: from the small office starting with a NAS, up to SAN clusters in high-density data environments.
- SMEs
- Professional technical firms
- Production and service companies
- Multi-site organisations
03 / Fibre Channel or iSCSI
Fibre Channel SAN or IP-SAN over iSCSI: which to choose
Both technologies offer shared block storage: the difference lies in the network the data travels on and the budget.
Fibre Channel SAN
- Very high performance on a dedicated fibre network
- Low latency, ideal for demanding workloads and virtualisation
- Suited to large data volumes and high availability
IP-SAN over iSCSI
- Reuses your existing Ethernet network, no dedicated fibre needed
- More economical, flexible alternative for SMEs
- Simple configuration while maintaining good performance

How quickly we take charge of your request
Just like in our VirtualAssistance support contract model, the response time is selectable based on how critical your systems are: the shorter it is, the higher the priority.
| Response SLA | Best suited for |
|---|---|
| 3 hours | Critical servers and services that cannot afford downtime |
| 8 hours | Workstations and services with a significant operational impact |
| 12 hours | Relevant requests that can be handled within the working day |
| 24 hours | Routine requests and activities that can be scheduled |
It's the same selectable SLA model used in our IT support contracts: we define it together based on your systems, with no hidden costs.
Not sure which SLA level is right for you? We analyse your infrastructure for free and help you choose the SLA that best fits your company, with no obligation.

A SAN (Storage Area Network) is a high-speed network that connects servers to shared storage units, delivering high performance, scalability and operational continuity. TN Solutions designs and manages SAN storage infrastructure for businesses on Fibre Channel, iSCSI and IP-SAN technologies, integrated with backup, snapshots and disaster recovery, for virtualised environments and demanding workloads.
SAN storage and enterprise data storage solutions
Reliability, scalability and performance are essential requirements for every modern IT system. TN Solutions offers professional SAN storage infrastructure, designed to guarantee high-performance storage, operational continuity and advanced data protection. We provide tailored solutions based on Fibre Channel, iSCSI and IP-SAN technologies, integrated with backup and disaster recovery systems.
With a modular, scalable approach we build SAN storage environments on rack or tower architectures, ideal for organisations handling large data volumes, virtualisation and demanding workloads. The service is part of our network assistance for businesses offering.
Why choose our SAN solutions
Reduce operating costs, expand storage capacity without limits and simplify maintenance: the three benefits behind every project.
Cost efficiency
Our SAN storage solutions are designed to minimise operating costs:
- Storage consolidation: fewer disks scattered across individual servers, one shared infrastructure
- Thin provisioning and dynamic space allocation
- IP SAN over iSCSI solutions that reuse your existing network, no dedicated fibre needed
- Automated snapshots, replication and maintenance
Maximum scalability
Never worry about storage capacity again: our SAN systems grow with you:
- Hot expansion with hot-swap SSD/HDD disks
- Modular rack chassis, expandable in stages with no downtime
- Architectures that adapt dynamically to workloads
- Capacity planning designed for 3-5 year growth
Ease of management
Maintaining your SAN has never been simpler:
- Remote monitoring and real-time alerts handled by our technicians
- Centralised dashboards for capacity, performance and disk health
- Preventive maintenance and component replacement with no downtime
- Qualified technical support from consultancy to after-sales
End-to-end storage support
We provide end-to-end storage support: from design to installation, from maintenance to monitoring. We handle professional storage services with technical consultancy and block storage configuration. Every system is built on enterprise components: SAN disks SSD/HDD, high-performance controllers and SAN rack chassis with redundant power and hot-swap disks.
SAN backup and data security
Our SAN backup solutions include advanced snapshot, synchronous/asynchronous replication and data immutability mechanisms. Integration with software such as Veeam and Acronis enables reliable, automated disaster recovery strategies.
With IP SAN storage support we provide a flexible, high-performing alternative to Fibre Channel systems, reducing costs and simplifying the infrastructure. Our configurations guarantee optimised RPO/RTO, ransomware protection and fast data recovery.
Who we work with
We work with SMEs, professional technical firms, production and service companies and multi-site organisations where network reliability and speed are essential. Our solutions adapt to any setup: from the small office starting with a NAS, up to SAN clusters in high-density data environments.
We work with certified vendors such as Dell, HP, QNAP, Synology, NetApp, ensuring compatibility with Windows Server, Linux, VMware and Hyper-V environments.
SAN storage: secure and scalable enterprise storage
For businesses with high storage demands, TN Solutions designs and implements SAN infrastructure on Fibre Channel or iSCSI technology, with high-performance and high-availability solutions. Ideal for environments with virtualisation, large-scale backups and disaster recovery, our enterprise SAN systems ensure fast access speed, data replication and storage consolidation.
The modular structure allows the system to grow over time, adapting to future needs. Every solution is backed by remote monitoring, real-time alerts and qualified technical support, with the data network sized alongside the corporate network switches that connect servers and storage.

Frequently asked questions
What is SAN storage and why use it in a business?
SAN (Storage Area Network) is a high-performance storage system, separate from the local network, that centralises data and provides fast, secure access for servers. It's ideal for virtualised or high-availability environments where multiple hosts need to share the same storage.
What does a SAN rack system include?
A SAN rack includes a modular chassis housing disks (SAN disks), controllers, fans and redundant power supply. It's designed to guarantee scalability, redundancy and integration with servers and network switches, with hot-swappable components that don't require stopping the systems.
What is IP SAN storage and how does it work?
IP SAN uses the iSCSI protocol to transmit data over the LAN, instead of a dedicated fibre network. It offers a more economical and flexible alternative for SMEs, while maintaining good performance and simple configuration.
Which protocols does a SAN network use for high performance?
The most common are Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) for ultra-high-performance connections, FCoE for Ethernet integration, and iSCSI for TCP/IP-based solutions. These technologies allow you to manage large storage capacities with reliability, low latency and speed.
How can a SAN support enterprise disaster recovery?
Thanks to low latency, synchronous/asynchronous replication and snapshots, a SAN is the ideal foundation for disaster recovery plans: in the event of a hardware failure, data is restored quickly and operational continuity is guaranteed, with measurable, contracted RPO and RTO.
Other network and storage infrastructure services
The data network should be sized together with storage: see also network switches, routers and business access points.
