Fibre Channel · Overview of the Technology
The information explosion and the need for high-performance communications for server-to-storage and server-to-server networking have been the focus of much attention during the 90s. Performance improvements in storage, processors, and workstations, along with the move to distributed architectures such as client/server, have spawned increasingly data-intensive and high-speed networking applications.

Network World: Fibre Channel
Fibre Channel is a technology designed for very high performance low-latency data transfer among various types of devices, as defined by a family of ANSI standards developed by INCITS T11. Advertisement: Data rates of 100, 200, 400, and 1200M-bytes/sec are defined for fiber optic links up to 50 km and for copper links. The links are full duplex, providing total bandwidth double the link rate.

SearchStorage: What is Fibre Channel?
Fibre Channel is a technology for transmitting data between computer devices at data rates of up to 4 Gbps (and 10 Gbps in the near future). Fibre Channel is especially suited for connecting computer servers to shared storage devices and for interconnecting storage controllers and drives. Since Fibre Channel is three times as fast, it has begun to replace the Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) as the transmission interface between...

Storage Basics - Fibre Channel
Fibre Channel is the name given to a set of standards that define mechanisms for connecting network nodes using serial communication over copper or optical cable. Fibre Channel standards were developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) to overcome the shortcomings of the current SCSI infrastructure, and are used to provide high-speed connections between servers and storage devices.

Wikipedia: What is Fibre Channel?
Fibre Channel, or FC, is a gigabit-speed network technology primarily used for storage networking. Fibre Channel is standardized in the T11 Technical Committee of the InterNational Committee for Information Technology Standards (INCITS), an American National Standards Institute (ANSI)–accredited standards committee. It started use primarily in the supercomputer field, but has become the standard connection type for storage area networks...
