| The
information explosion and the need for
high-performance communications for
server-to-storage and server-to-server
networking have been the focus of much
attention during the last decade. Performance
improvements in storage, processors,
and workstations, along with the move
to distributed architectures such as
client/server, have spawned increasingly
data-intensive and high-speed networking
applications. The interconnect between
these systems and their input/output
devices demands a new level of performance
in reliability, speed, and distance.
Fibre Channel, a highly-reliable gigabit
interconnect technology, allows concurrent
communications among workstations, mainframes,
servers, data storage systems, and other
peripherals using SCSI and IP protocols.
It provides interconnect systems for
multiple topologies that can scale to
a total system bandwidth on the order
of a terabit per second. Fibre Channel
delivers a new level of reliability
and throughput. Switches, hubs, storage
systems, storage devices, and adapters
are among the products that are on the
market today, providing the ability
to implement a total system solution.
