Xsan is Apple's Storage Area Network, computer clients (say production computers running final cut pro) connect via fibre channel to a central storage setup (RAID Arrays) and send Metadata to servers that are traffic cops for the mass amounts of information traveling over the fibre cables. For more information, do reference AM_Kidd's links.
