Fibre Channel switch
In the computer storage field, a Fibre Channel switch is a network switch compatible with the Fibre Channel (FC) protocol. It allows the creation of a Fibre Channel fabric, that is the core component of a storage area network (SAN). The fabric is a network of Fibre Channel devices which allows many-to-many communication, device name lookup, security, and redundancy. FC switches implement zoning, a mechanism that disable
Brocade Fibre Channel Switches with 64 Gbit/s data
Thanks to its low latency at high data rates, Fibre Channel continues to play a major role in the construction of dedicated storage networks (SANs). At the heart of the
