FIBRE CHANNEL DEFINITION (continued): … and drives. Since Fibre Channel is three times as fast, it has begun to replace the Small Computer System Interface ( SCSI) as the transmission interface between servers and clustered storage devices. Fibre channel is more flexible; devices can be as far as ten kilometers (about six miles) apart if optical fiber is used as the physical medium. Optical fiber is not required for shorter distances, however, because Fibre Channel also works using coaxial cable … Fibre Channel definition sponsored by SearchStorage.com, powered by WhatIs.com an online computer dictionary
