A storage area network (SAN) includes fabric-attachable storage drives that are each directly connected to a fabric and that operate drive volumes. The SAN includes SAN software agents executed by client computing devices that are directly connected to the fabric. Each SAN software agent operates logical volumes realized by the drive volumes of the storage drives. The SAN includes a SAN manager directly connected to the fabric to manage the drive volumes of the SAN storage drives and to manage the logical volumes that the SAN software agents operate.
