Fibre Channel Fabric

In order to attain high data transfer rates (uncompressed high-definition video, for example), a Fibre Channel network is implemented to connect clients, controllers, and storage to your SAN. This will be the main data connection for large files you will transfer throughout your SAN.

A number of components make up the Fibre Channel fabric, including copper or optical cabling, small form factor pluggables (SFPs), host bus adapters (HBAs), and supported Fibre Channel switches.
