1. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF FIBRE CHANNEL SANS?
Fibre Channel SAs are the de !acto standard !or stora"e net#orkin" in the cor$orate data center because the%
$ro&ide e'ce$tional reliabilit%, scalabilit%, consolidation, and $er!ormance. Fibre Channel SAs $ro&ide
si"ni!icant ad&anta"es o&er direct(attached stora"e throu"h im$ro&ed stora"e utili)ation, hi"her data
a&ailabilit%, reduced mana"ement costs, and hi"hl% scalable ca$acit% and $er!ormance.
2. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF 4GB FIBRE CHANNEL?
*ene!its include t#ice the $er!ormance #ith little or no $rice increase, in&estment $rotection #ith back#ard
com$atibilit% to 2 G*, hi"her reliabilit% due to !e#er SA com$onents +s#itch and ,*A $orts- re.uired, and the
abilit% to re$licate, back u$, and restore data more .uickl%. 4 G* Fibre Channel s%stems are ideall% suited !or
a$$lications that need to .uickl% trans!er lar"e amounts o! data such as remote re$lication across a SA,
streamin" &ideo on demand, modelin" and renderin", and lar"e databases. 4 G* technolo"% is shi$$in" toda%.
3. HOW IS FIBRE CHANNEL DIFFERENT FROM ISCSI?
Fibre Channel and iSCS/ each ha&e a distinct $lace in the /0 in!rastructure as SA alternati&es to DAS. Fibre
Channel "enerall% $ro&ides hi"h $er!ormance and hi"h a&ailabilit% !or business(critical a$$lications, usuall%
in the cor$orate data center. /n contrast, iSCS/ is "enerall% used to $ro&ide SAs !or business a$$lications in
smaller re"ional or de$artmental data centers.
4. WHEN SHOULD I DEPLOY FIBRE CHANNEL INSTEAD OF ISCSI?
For en&ironments consistin" o! hi"h(end ser&ers that re.uire hi"h band#idth or data center en&ironments #ith
business(critical data, Fibre Channel is a better !it than iSCS/. For en&ironments consistin" o! man% midran"e or

/n class 1 ser&ice, a dedicated connection source and destination is established throu"h the !abric !or the
duration o! the transmission. /t $ro&ides ackno#led"ed ser&ice. 0his class o! ser&ice ensures that the !rames

the connection bet#een the t#o de&ices. /t does not $ro&ide !or a "ood utili)ation o! the a&ailable band#idth,
since it is blockin" another $ossible contender !or the same de&ice. *ecause o! this blockin" and necessar%
dedicated connection, class 1 is rarel% used.
C&a92D connection less but $ro&ides ackno#led"ement
Class 2 is a connectionless, ackno#led"ed ser&ice. Class 2 makes better use o! a&ailable band#idth since it
allo#s the !abric to multi$le' se&eral messa"es on a !rame(b%(!rame basis. As !rames tra&el throu"h the !abric
the% can take di!!erent routes, so class 2 ser&ice does not "uarantee in(order deli&er%. Class 2 relies on u$$er
la%er $rotocols to take care o! !rame se.uence. 0he use o! ackno#led"ments reduces a&ailable band#idth,
#hich needs to be considered in lar"e(scale bus% net#orks.
C&a93D connection less and $ro&ides no noti!ication o! deli&er%
0here is no dedicated connection in class = and the recei&ed !rames are not ackno#led"ed. Class = is also called
datagram connectionless ser&ice. /t o$timi)es the use o! !abric resources, but it is no# u$$er la%er $rotocol to
ensure that all !rames are recei&ed in the $ro$er order, and to re.uest to the source de&ice the retransmission
o! missin" !rames. Class = is a commonl% used class o! ser&ice in Fibre Channel net#orks.
C&a94D allo#s !ractional band#idth !or &irtual circuits
Class 4 is a connection(oriented ser&ice like class 1, but the main di!!erence is that it allocates onl% a !raction o!
a&ailable band#idth o! $ath throu"h the !abric that connects t#o P1orts. Virtual Circuits +VCs- are established
