FIBRE CHANNEL SCSI
Using suitable adapters and repeaters it is possible to expand Fibre Channel up to 30km. At speeds of up to 1G/bit it is possible to run two SCSI Ultra channels in parallel over a single Fibre Channel.
In addition to the Fibre Channel SCSI Bridge there is also a 64 bit PCI Fibre Channel adapter card, and Fibre Channel hub.
Fibre channel is a cost effective means of distributing SCSI peripherals (libraries and tape drives, RAID solutions etc) between different sites, where a resilliant archive/redundant storage solution is required at speeds equalling those of a local storage peripheral.
Fibre Channel SCSI bridges can co-exist on fibre channel with other network devices and traffic.
