Fibre Channel is a 1 gigabit per second data transfer interface technology that maps several common transport
protocols including IP and SCSI, allowing it to merge high-speed I/O and networking functionality in a single
connectivity technology. Fibre Channel is an open standard as defined by ANSI and OSI standards and operates
over copper and fiber optic cabling at distances of up to 10 Kilometers. It is unique in its support of multiple
inter-operable topologies including point-to-point, arbitrated-loop and switching and it offers several qualities of
service for network optimization. With its large packet sizes, Fibre Channel is ideal for storage, video, graphic
and mass data transfer applications.
Note to editors, analysts: Complimentary passes to the conference and exhibits are available on request.
