Fiber Channel
Fiber Channel is a high-speed network technology primarily used for connecting computer data storage to servers. It enables fast and reliable data transfer, making it ideal for storage area networks (SANs). Fiber Channel supports various topologies, including point-to-point, arbitrated loop, and switched fabric, allowing flexibility in network design.
This technology operates at speeds ranging from 1 Gbps to 128 Gbps, with the ability to transmit data over long distances using optical fiber cables. Fiber Channel is widely used in enterprise environments where large amounts of data need to be accessed quickly and efficiently, ensuring optimal performance for applications and services.
