2 Fibre Channel is a key technology for storage Fibre Channel is a serial communications technology designed to transfer large amounts of data among a variety of hardware systems over long distances. It is a key technology for applications that require shared, high bandwidth access to storage. Fibre Channel provides a logical, point-to-point, serial channel for the transfer of data between a buffer at a source device and a buffer at a destination device.
Term Definition fabric a Fibre Channel switch or two or more Fibre Channel switches interconnected to physically transmit data between any two N_Ports on the switch or switches FC Fibre Channel F_port a port in the Fibre Channel fabric where a N_port may attach FL_port a port in the Fibre Channel fabric where a NL_port may attach in an arbitrated loop frame an indivisible unit for transfer of information in Fibre Channel frame header the first field in the frame containing the address and other
