SAN/NAS Storage
Also written as SAN, NAS, Storage Area Network, Network Attached Storage, NetApp, Storage Administration, Storage Admin, Dell EMC, Pure Storage
Shared storage for a company's servers. A SAN (storage area network) gives servers fast disk space over a dedicated network, often Fibre Channel, and suits databases and virtual machines. A NAS (network attached storage) shares files and folders over the normal network. NetApp, Dell EMC and Pure Storage are the main vendors.
Think of it like
A SAN is a private warehouse with its own loading road; a NAS is the shared filing room anyone on the floor can walk into.
Junior or senior?
A specialist skill with fewer candidates.
Senior sounds like
Has planned capacity, set up replication between sites, and handled a storage migration or failure without losing data.
Ask them
“Which storage systems did you manage, and how much capacity? Tell me about a storage migration or failure you handled.”

Where this talent works in India — Networking & IT Infrastructure
Target companies that build networking gear or run large networks and data centres themselves: equipment makers, telecom operators, data-centre operators and infrastructure-services firms. Help-desk-heavy outsourcing contracts use the same titles with far less design work, so ask who designed the network, not just who kept it running.
For example: Cisco, Juniper Networks (HPE), HPE Aruba Networking, Arista Networks, Extreme Networks, F5, Infoblox, Nokia.
