Sean Derrington, Program Director at Stamford, Connecticut-based META Group, said, 'Fibre Channel switching is revolutionizing the relationship of servers to storage. It will provide new levels of performance, new levels of information protection by giving pools of servers access to pools of protected information, and new levels of information asset management built on the storage attributes of capacity, bandwidth and connectivity.
