Fibre Channel is rapidly
replacing SCSI as the preferred way to access the vast amounts of data storage
required by data intensive applications such as the Internet, e-commerce,
online transaction processing, multimedia, and data warehousing. Fibre Channel
provides compelling benefits including improved performance, availability,
scalability, and data sharing. The FibreQuickä HB2000 digital hub
facilitates the implementation of gigabit speed, Fibre Channel-based Storage
Area Networks (SAN). With eight user configurable Gigabit Interface Converter
(GBIC) ports, users are able to easily create star topology networks for
connecting multiple servers and storage devices and can easily add and remove
devices from the network without disrupting the integrity of the
SAN. |
