A MAN is a metropolitan area network, uses fiber-optic connections to dramatically extend the reach of high-speed LAN technologies. This service is typically found only in urban business centers where large corporations need high bandwidth, hence the metro name.

A SAN is a storage area network. This is a very high-speed, medium-range system that allows a server (or cluster of servers) to access an external disk storage array as if it were a locally connected hard drive. This opens up huge possibilities for fault-tolerant and centrally-managed data systems, but it's expensive.

Content Networks are developed in response to the huge amount—as well as the kind—of information available on the Internet. Content networks deal with making access to the information faster, as well as logging and controlling access to certain kinds of material.
