Scenario: Same streaming web app with CI/CD, requiring high availability, consistent streaming, and data stored near users. Solution: Add a Storage Area Network (SAN) to the design. Does this solution meet the requirements?

Adding a Storage Area Network (SAN) does not meet the requirements. A SAN is a block-level storage solution typically used for high-performance databases or virtualized environments within a data center. It does not inherently provide global distribution of data for users worldwide, which is crucial for "data stored near users" and "consistent streaming" across different geographies. For globally distributed, high-availability streaming, solutions like Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN) combined with geo-replicated storage (e.g., Azure Blob Storage with GRS or RA-GRS) would be more appropriate. SANs also don't directly address CI/CD needs.
