Figure 2.5 Fibre Channel improves productivity of imaging applications

DIGITAL IMAGING

Digital imaging applications, like movie post-production, pre-press,

and medical imaging, typically move extremely large files and need

to move these files in a very short time. Users of these files do not

have the time to wait for slow delivery. The speed and reliability of

Fibre Channel deliver increased productivity which, in turn, improves

the bottom line. Typical results are 50 percent savings in storage

requirements and 30-50 percent less time to produce projects.
