ATTO Technology FC-84EN ユーザーズマニュアル

  

Celerity FC host adapters simplify advanced storage 
networking needs such as switching, backup and data 
management. Specifically designed to enhance the 
functionality of third party fabric hardware and 
software, Celerity FC products are the industry-
leading platform for storage connectivity.
Fibre Channel is a serial communications technology 
designed to transfer large amounts of data among a 
variety of hardware systems over long distances. It is 
a key technology for applications that require shared, 
high bandwidth access to storage.

Fibre Channel provides a logical, point-to-point, serial 
channel for the transfer of data between a buffer at a 
source device and a buffer at a destination device. It 
moves buffer contents from one port to another, 
without regard to the format or meaning of the data so 
different upper level protocols are able to run over 
Fibre Channel hardware.
The Fibre Channel architecture is structured as a 
hierarchical set of protocol layers. Defined within these 
layers are rules for signal interfaces, serial encoding 
and decoding, error control, frame format and 
communications protocols.
