FIBRE CHANNEL: Overview
Communication between servers and from servers to storage has grown at an incredible pace for several years. Faster processors, storage devices with greater capacity, widely distributed architectures — as well as new applications for audio/video and the demands of e-commerce — have pushed other I/O systems to their limits and beyond. Fibre Channel is an ANSI-standard technology that meets the high demands of today’s systems, while laying the foundation for future needs. Fibre Channel has proven itself in thousands of networks and data centers. It is the de facto standard for SANs. Fibre Channel provides exceptional reliability, scalability and security. It is also surprisingly cost-effective, delivering unmatched capability with an attractive return on investment.
