STAR-BUS NETWORK
A star-bus network is a combination of a star network and a bus network. A hub (or concentrator) is used to connect the nodes to the network. It is a combination of the linear bus and star topologies and operates over one main communication line
STORAGE AREA NETWORK
In computing, a storage area network (SAN) is a network designed to attach computer storage devices such as disk array controllers and tape libraries to servers. As of 2006, SANs are common in enterprise storage.
There are two variations of SANs:
1. A network whose primary purpose is the transfer of data between computer systems and storage elements. A SAN consists of a communication infrastructure, which provides physical connections, and a management layer, which organizes the connections, storage elements, and computer systems so that data transfer is secure and robust. The term SAN is usually (but not necessarily) identified with block I/O services rather than file access services.
2. A storage system consisting of storage elements, storage devices, computer systems, and/or appliances, plus all control software, communicating over a network.
