Fibre Channel Over TCP/IP (FCIP) describes mechanisms that allow the interconnection of islands of Fibre Channel storage area networks over IP-based networks to form a unified storage area network in a single Fibre Channel fabric. FCIP relies on IP-based network services to provide the connectivity between the storage area network islands over local area networks, metropolitan area networks, or...
متن کاملIP SAN: Low on Fibre
The era of Fibre Channel interoperability is slowly dawning. In a world where Internet Protocol (IP) dominates local and wide area networks, and data storage requirements grow unabated, it seems inevitable that these two forces converge. Internet Protocol Storage Area Networks (IP SANs) [4] unite storage and IP networking enabling IP and Ethernet infrastructure to be used for expanding access t...
متن کاملAn Analysis of Three Gigabit Networking Protocols for Storage Area Networks
SCSI protocol is the protocol of choice for block storage management. Diierent transport mechanisms such as parallel SCSI, Fibre Channel, iSCSI and Innni-band can be used to transfer SCSI protocol data. Distance and connectivity limitations are the key drawbacks of parallel SCSI. Therefore, Fibre Channel, In-niband and iSCSI (SCSI over TCP) are competing to emerge as the dominant next generatio...
متن کاملLossless 10 Gigabit Ethernet: The Unifying Infrastructure for SAN and LAN Consolidation
To meet these challenges, organizations must build a single network infrastructure that unifies traditional server I/O, storage, and network operations to more efficiently support evolving business applications. This document describes how a Unified Fabric, proposed by Cisco and NetApp, enables convergence of SAN traffic over an Ethernet and compares the performance of Fibre Channel over Ethern...
متن کاملFibre Channel and IP SAN
The maturity and mission-critical deployment of Fibre Channel (FC) in storage area networks (SANs) creates a unique class of multi-terabit networks with demanding throughput, latency, scalability, robustness, and availability requirements. This paper reviews the state of and critical system-level requirements for SANs. It describes how Internet SCSI (iSCSI), FC over IP (FCIP), and Internet FC P...
