Fiber Channel Switches

WHITE PAPER: The protocol utilized to transport data between servers and storage for High Performance Computing (HPC) and to define a Storage Area Network (SAN) is Fibre Channel(FC). Fibre Channel is an "invisible" protocol, because it is only known to the technicians that implement it and keep it working. This paper will provide an overview of this technology.
